Serves 6
Ingredients
6 slices turkey bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
1 cups turkey breast, cooked and cubed small
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped small
1 cup blue cheese crumbles
1 avocados, ripe but firm, cubed small
1 red peppers, chopped small
1 medium red onion, chopped small
1 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 cups ice berg lettuce, chopped small
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped small
Salt & pepper
¼ cup fresh chives, chopped superfine
Creamy Herbal Ranch Dressing (recipe follows)
Directions
The key to the perfect cobb is the uniform small chop. Your cuts must be constant to optimize flavors. Once all the items are chopped or crumbled etc to a consistent shape and size, combine the lettuces in a large bowl and mix well. Season with salt & pepper. Lay them in a shallow oblong serving dish, making sure it’s flat and even, perhaps with a slight mound at the center. Arrange the items one by one in a neat line across the dish, like stripes on a flag. Garnish with chopped chives. When ready to serve let each person grab their goods and drizzle the dressing on each salad.
