Cobb Salad Recipe

My children actually eat salad. I know. I was amazed too. But they seem to enjoy it. So based on that, I like to play around with ingredients and try different kinds of salads and ingredients to see what they will eat. This one was a big hit, and we’ve made a few modifications to it over the years which I will share in different recipes over the next couple of weeks. Enjoy – and be prepared for some good eating!

Delicious Cobb Salad Recipe

a few heads of Lettuce (we like to combine different types (watercress, romaine and spinach are our favorites but you can use any type)
2-4 sliced tomatoes
1 lb. crisp, cooked bacon
1 lb. chicken, cooked and cubed
6-12 Hard-boiled eggs
2 Avocado’s, sliced into small pieces
16 oz. Roquefort cheese
3/4 c. chives
Salad dressing – see recipe below

Wash lettuce. Tear into pieces and allow to dry on a towel. Add to large salad bowl. Add all ingredients. You can add more or less of what is called for depending on the size of the salad you make, your taste for the ingredients. Pour the salad dressing over everything.

Here is the recipe for the salad dressing:

1/4 c. water
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper

In a bowl, combine the water, red wine vinegar, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Next add the sugar, salt, black pepper, dry mustard and garlic. Stir well until sugar has dissolved. Add the olive oil and salad oil and stir well. Pour over salad or put in a bottle to be added during a meal. Shake before using.
