You gotta love a salad that has bacon in it…seriously..
Ingredient list:
3 hard boiled eggs, peeled & sliced
1 head romaine
handful of parsley
2 green onions
2 cups cooked chicken
2 avocados
2 tomatoes
1/4 lb blue cheese
1/2 c red wine vinegar
1 t Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper from the mill
1 T or so of reserved blue cheese
Start by frying the bacon (that phrase makes me all happy inside). When it’s crispy, drain it on paper towels until it cools down.
while the bacon cools, chop the lettuce coarsely
add the parsley and boiled, sliced eggs
sliced green onions
cooked chicken, cubed (any leftover poultry would work – chopped turkey is good in this)
avocado, peeled and cubed & the bacon! (also chopped)
tomato, chopped
blue cheese – if you can find the kind that comes in the yellow waxed package, it works really well in this recipe
mince the garlic, add the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to taste and Worcestershire sauce. Take a little bit of the blue cheese and mash in with the vinegar mixture. Slowly add the olive oil while whisking continuously to make a yummy dressing..
yowsa! this is good….
I chilled a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (Meridian has a nice light one) to serve with it.
Crusty French bread makes it a meal…

I’ll try anything with blue cheese and avocado in it, looks scrumptious.
Yummm!!! Your food photos always looks like perfection! Thank you so much for sharing your culinary talents!
Blessings & Aloha!
I love a good Cob Salad!! Hold the blue cheese! Looks delish….thanks for sharing!
Cobb is one of my favorite salads! I like black olives in it too 🙂
I very much like eating salads. 🙂
This looks so delsih…I could just eat it right off the computer screen! Well, it got to about 55 today, so it is warming up..maybe Spring really is here..have a good one. 😀
Hey, set a place for me! This is one of my favorite salads…anything with bacon and bleu cheese is scrumptious.
I saw the picture of the recipe before this, too, and I definitely need to check it out, too.
Today I made a greek rice salad and glorified rice (a rice-y kind of day) and took them to a neighborhood luncheon. Mine were the only dishes scraped clean…mwahahahahahahaha!
I love when that happens.
And I love when I open an Alphabe-Thursday link and see it’s you.
I know I’m in for a treat.
Thank you.
A+
Oh my favorite combination of everything in one bowl..I love this salad!
Take the meat out, and it would be perfect!
That Cobb Salad looks remarkably better than the fast food one I had today!
I love bacon! This salad looks wonderful,
Mmm! We don’t see Cobb salad much on our menus here so it’s great that you’ve given us a recipe on how to make it RMW! 😀
looks delicious! I use bacon bits to get a little body into my salads. Always looking for new salad ideas! {:-D
Mmmm, Salad….. It’s so rare these days for us to eat salads that I can honestly say that I miss having them. This Cobb Salad looks delicious! I’m not one for blue cheese though… Never been a big fan of the taste. Neither is Jason. Is there a good substitute for that?
I LOVE Cobb Salad and this looks delicious!!!
Your cobb looks magnificent!
And yes, I’m hungry already and it’s only 9:54 AM.
*sigh*

Cobb has always been my favorite salad. I rarely make it at home (so much trouble for one person) but restaurants don’t do a good job with it at all.
This one looks marvelous! You’ll have to invite me over! 🙂
O wow! Salivating! Looks WAY delicious!
Save a glass of wine for me! Yum Cobb salad!
these are superb,
wholesome looking,
yummy feel.
you rock.
Happy Mother’s Day Ahead.
I love CObb salad. It’s got everything in it!~Ames
That makes 3 ideas I’ve gone away with today, Cob Salad, Pistacchio chicken and cupcakes. BBQ sorted – Happy days xx
Your classic cobb salad looks amazing! Love all the photos.
I don’t know why I don’t make cobb salads at home. Yours looks fantastic!
