Recipe Swappers

Cobb salad

1 small head of lettuce, spinach or romaine leaves
2 cuts cut-up chicken
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1-2 ripe avocados, chopped
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Lemon vinaigrette
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic finely chopped

1. Prepare lemon vinaigrette by shaking all ingredients in a tightly covered container. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Wash and tear lettuce into pieces. Place into large serving bowl (or do individual salad bowls if you prefer). Top with remaining ingredients. Serve with vinaigrette.

I often make this salad without the chicken and I add a few more veggies like carrots or celery - whatever I have on hand. The best part about this salad is the combination of bacon, blue cheese (one of my all time favorites!), avocado and egg. Enjoy!
