Learn to make a traditional cobb salad that's chock-full of crispy bacon, seasoned chicken, mounds of blue cheese, avocado, and hard-boiled egg. This is a "composed" salad, meaning the ingredients are arranged on the salad as opposed to all the components being tossed together. Originally it was a way for the restaurant to use up leftovers, but it soon became the Brown Derby's most famous dish.
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 3 hard-boiled eggs (peeled and chopped)
- 1 head romaine lettuce (torn into bite-size pieces)
- 4 cups cooked chicken (diced)
- 2 ripe avocados (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 2 ripe medium tomatoes (chopped)
- 4 ounces Roquefort cheese (crumbled)
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup olive oil
