Cobb-Cobb Salad.

Cobb-Cobb Salad Fixing’s One of the best salads to make when you want to impress. Once you serve it you will be on the receiving end of many fine compliments from your guests. I enjoy making and eating this salad and take great pride in gathering all the fresh ingredients. The next time you want to make a salad stand out give this recipe a whirl. Just remember that it will only turn out good if you start with the best tasting ingredients at hand. You will need to shop at a reliable produce market to get the tastiest veggies. It may take extra energy to find good tomatoes and lettuces but is well worth effort. You will need for this recipe. 6 oz of virgin olive oil 3 tbs of fresh red wine vinegar 1 tsp of kosher salt ½ tsp of fresh ground black pepper Combine these ingredients in a tightly capped jar. Shake vigorously until blended and set aside. 6 cups chopped of crisp iceberg lettuce 2 cups of curly endive 1 cup of watercress sprigs 3 hard boiled organic eggs separate yellow yolks from whites and chop 2 tbs chopped parsley 1 tbs of chopped real chives 3 large tasty tomatoes peeled, seeded and diced 2 cups finely diced chicken breast [roasted or poached] ½ cup of crumbled blue cheese 1 ripe firm avocado peeled and sliced and coated with lemon juice 8 slices of double smoked bacon fried crisp and crumbled Now these next few steps are important to the taste and texture of the salad. I know it sounds fussy but the results will be worthy. In a large salad bowl toss together the lettuce, curly endive and the sprigs of watercress and set in the fridge. In another bowl toss the egg whites with the parsley and chives, a sprinkle of salt and 2 tbs of the well mixed dressing and set to the side. In another small bowl add the chopped tomatoes and toss with 2 tbs of dressing, light on the salt and pepper. Set aside. In another bowl do the same as above with the chicken and set aside. To serve pour the remaining dressing over the greens, and pepper and toss till coated. Now on top of the greens make a line starting with the bacon, next the blue cheese, tomato, chicken, avocado, egg white with parsley/chives and the egg yolk as the final row for best presentation.
