Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the salad:
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 pound sliced Black Forest or other smoked ham
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 6 cups romaine lettuce (about 6 ounces) coarsely chopped
- 2 cups watercress, thick stems removed
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 avocado, diced (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 cup cooked diced chicken breast 1 (6-ounce) breast
- 1/2 cup crumbled Roquefort or Blue cheese (about 2 ounces)
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients and set aside.
Slice the ham into 1/2-inch strips. Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat over a medium-high heat. Add the ham to the skillet and cook over stirring frequently, until the ham is warmed through and crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Remove and discard the yolk from 1 of the hard boiled eggs. Chop the remaining egg white and whole egg and set aside.
In a large bowl toss the romaine and watercress with 2/3 of the dressing. Put the dressed greens onto a large serving dish. Place the tomatoes on top forming a row down the middle. In strips on either side of the tomatoes place the avocado, chicken, cheese, diced egg, and the crisped ham on top of the greens. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve.

I made this for a pot luck dinner recently and everyone absolutely loved it. The dressing is so fresh and tasty. I added more garlic.

If I could give this 10 stars, I would! It tastes just like a full-fat, full-calorie cobb salad, and it's easy to make. I doubled the amount of dressing, and I had it for dinner and the next day for lunch, and it was just as good the next day. Do use the watercress; it adds something to complete the salad that I think would be missing with romaine alone. Fantastic recipe that I will definitely make again!
