Classic Cobb Salad

INGREDIENTS

• 1-2 heads of romaine, chopped
• 6 slices of bacon
• 2 ripe avocados, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped fine
• 2 hard-boiled large eggs, finely chopped
• 2 chicken cutlets – see HERE on how to make – so so easy
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1/2 c bleu cheese

Dressing

• 1/3 cup red-wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
• Salt and pepper
• 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Cook the bacon in a skillet on medium heat until crisp on both sides. Allow the bacon to cool. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
2. Put lettuce in a large salad bowl or on a platter as pictured above.
3. Make the chicken cutlets.
4. Slice the chicken cutlets and arrange the chicken, the bacon, the tomato, chopped egg, chives, cheese and the avocado decoratively over the greens.
5. Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, the mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a slow stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is well mixed.
6. Serve separately or drizzle over the salad.
