COBB SALAD BURGER
The Cobb salad created in 1937 at the Brown Derby. Recreated here to place the same ingredients on a burger. Not chopped but sliced for easier enjoyment! I give a choice between chicken the original ingredients or beef. If the avocado is firm you can grill it to soften. It may take longer then the meat, depending on ripeness. Take note of optional way to add the egg.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Meanwhile, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and let stand, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, then run under cold water to cool. Peel under cold running water. Chop the hard-cooked eggs and season with salt.
- Combine the chicken, lemon zest and juice, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns and a large pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; add enough cold water to cover the chicken by 1/2 inch. Bring to a bare simmer over medium heat (do not boil) and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 160 degrees F, about 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, shallot, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a serving bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified; season with pepper. Dice the chicken and toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing in a separate bowl.
- Halve, pit and dice the avocados. Season the tomatoes with salt. Add the Bibb and romaine lettuce to the serving bowl on top of the dressing. Arrange the bacon, hard-cooked eggs, chicken, avocados, tomatoes and blue cheese in rows on top of the lettuce. When ready to serve, toss the salad and season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use a good quality beef patty for the burger. A mixture of chuck and sirloin works well.
- Cook the burger to your desired doneness. Medium-rare is a good option for a juicy burger.
- Toast the bun before assembling the burger. This will help it hold up better and prevent it from getting soggy.
- Use fresh, crisp lettuce and vegetables for the salad. Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocados are all good choices.
- Make sure the dressing is well-balanced and flavorful. A simple vinaigrette or ranch dressing works well.
- Serve the burger immediately after assembling it. This will help prevent the bun from getting soggy and the salad from wilting.
Conclusion:
The Cobb salad burger is a delicious and hearty sandwich that is perfect for a summer cookout or picnic. It is also a great way to use up leftover Cobb salad. With its combination of juicy beef, crisp salad, and flavorful dressing, the Cobb salad burger is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
