Cobb Salad We used chicken breast and turkey bacon for a leaner version of this popular salad. If you prefer, you can use roasted turkey breast instead of poached chicken. Ingredients | |
1 | boneless and skinless chicken breast half |
2 large | eggs |
3 slices | turkey bacon |
1 head | romaine lettuce, stalk and tough outer leaves removed, sliced |
crosswise into 3/4-inch-wide strips (about 6 cups) | |
1 cup | chopped fresh watercress |
3 | tomatoes, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups) |
1/2 small | ripe Hass avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch |
pieces (about 1/2 cup) | |
1/4 cup | chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1/4 cup | chopped fresh chives |
1 ounce | blue cheese, crumbled |
3 tablespoons | red-wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon | Dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon | extra-virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon | freshly ground pepper |
Directions Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add chicken; cook at a bare simmer until it is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside. Place eggs in a small saucepan; fill with enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; turn off heat. Cover; let stand 11 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, and cover with cold | |
water, let cool, and peel. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Discard one | |
yolk, and pass the other through a fine sieve into a small bowl; set | |
aside. Slice each egg white into six wedges; set aside. Cook bacon in a medium saute pan over medium-low heat until browned and fat is rendered, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to drain on paper towels. Let cool; roughly chop. Spread lettuce on a serving platter. Arrange chicken, eggs, bacon, | |
watercress, tomatoes, avocado, parsley, and chives in separate rows. |
Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together cheese, vinegar,
and mustard. Slowly whisk in the oil. Season with pepper. Drizzle
vinaigrette over salad, and serve immediately.
