Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon, cut in half
- 1 ripe avocado, split, pitted, and diced
- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 cups mesclun greens
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing, homemade, recipe follows
Directions
Spread the bacon out on a paper towel on a microwave safe plate. Cover with another piece of paper towel, cook at full power in the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp. Cool.
Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl, layer the avocado, tomato, and eggs, seasoning them with salt and pepper, to taste, as you go. Top with the mesclun greens, then scatter the chicken on top. Crumble the bacon over the salad. Bring the salad to the table and toss with the dressing so all the ingredients are evenly mixed together. Serve.

This looks good but does anyone know how to make an original Cobb Salad? It involves putting each ingredient through a meat grinder (except maybe the avocado - just finely chopped and putting them into distinct rows on a plate for presentation. Then it is mixed together at the table and served with a bleu cheese dressing. It is out of this world. I had one in 1972 at the Brown Derby in Hollywood and have not seen one since.

This is a good recipe, but it iws not even close to the original from the Brown Derby in Hollywood,California which is closed now, but the Villa in the Alley in Hollywood stills serves the original. The only problem is the dressing which makes the whole thing come together is a world secret now and mostly forever. If you have the recipe for the dressing please share with me.
