Ingredients

Dressing

  • 2/3 cup olive or vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Salad

  • 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce (12 oz)
  • 2 cups cut-up cooked chicken
  • 6 slices precooked bacon, chopped
  • 4 plum (Roma) tomatoes, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (2 oz)
  • 4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 2 medium avocados, pitted, peeled and cubed (about 2 cups)

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, beat dressing ingredients with wire whisk until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • 2

  • 3
    Just before serving, top salad with avocados. Serve salad with dressing.

  • Romaine can come in several different packages to get to 8 cups. • One head of romaine weighs about 18 oz = 12 to 13 cups • One 18-oz bag of hearts of romaine = about 12 to 13 cups • One 10-oz bag hearts of romaine = about 7 1/2 cups
  • The traditional way to serve a cobb salad is with the ingredients arranged in rows on lettuce. We've given it a new twist by serving it in layers.
