" Friends are the bacon-bits on the salad bar of life!"

All these postings of cookies and chocolates made me feel like I needed to have something healthy! So here is a delicious salad. Gosh, I feel healthier already!

Cobb Salad

• 3 hard-cooked eggs peeled
• 8 bacon slices
• 1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated and torn into bite-size pieces
• 2 cups chopped watercress lettuce
• 4 cups diced cooked turkey or chicken
• 2 avocados, pitted, peeled and diced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 pound plus 1 ounce Roquefort cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil Several long chive lengths for garnish
  

Cut the hard-cooked eggs into 1/2-inch dice. Set aside.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, fry the bacon about 10 minutes or until crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain. When cool, crumble and set aside.

Make a bed of romaine lettuce on a platter, shallow bowl, or individual serving plates. Arrange the eggs, bacon, herbs, watercress, turkey or chicken, avocados, tomatoes, and the 1/4 pound Roquefort cheese in a neat pattern atop the lettuce, in rows

In a small bowl, whisk together the wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using a fork, mash in the remaining 1 ounce Roquefort cheese to make a paste. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to form a thick dressing.

Pour a little of the dressing over the salad and garnish with chive lengths. Serve immediately. Pass the remaining dressing at the table.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

YUMMY!!!!
