Classic Cobb Salad

Ingredients

For the salad:

• 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded

• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

• 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

• 1 large avocado, diced

• ¾ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (feta makes a great substitute)

• 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions

For the red wine vinaigrette:

• ¼ cup red wine vinegar

• ½ cup olive oil

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1 small garlic clove, minced

• ½ teaspoon sugar (optional)

• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Whisk together red wine vinegar, Dijon, garlic, and sugar. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread chopped romaine evenly on a large platter or in a wide bowl.

In neat rows across the lettuce, layer chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and blue cheese.

Drizzle with vinaigrette just before serving and sprinkle with chives.
