Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 egg
1 teaspoon peanut oil
3 slices prosciutto
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 ripe avocado
1 cup roughly chopped frisee
1 cup roughly chopped green curly leaf lettuce
1 cup roughly chopped watercress
1 thin scallion, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a small pan of water to a boil. Add egg, and simmer for 9 minutes. Drain, and cool under cold running water. Peel and set aside. Place a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add peanut oil, then slices of prosciutto. Saute until crisped and browned on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove to a dish lined with paper towel. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, large pinch salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning; it should be intense.
  • Slice avocado half into 1/4-inch wedges, then crosswise into 1/4-inch triangular pieces. Chop prosciutto into 1/4-inch cubes. In a large serving bowl, combine lettuces, watercress, scallion, avocado and prosciutto. Pour half the dressing on top, and toss to coat, adding more if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning. Using back of a spoon, press egg, in halves, through a fine sieve over salad. Let it fall evenly to cover salad. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so I used crumbled feta cheese instead. It was still very good.

I love the idea of a Cobb salad, but I think this recipe needs a little more seasoning. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

This salad is a bit too heavy for my taste. I prefer lighter salads with more greens.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or bacon. I also like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra protein.

This Cobb salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The avocado and crumbled bacon add a creamy richness, while the tomatoes and red onion bring a refreshing acidity. The dressing is the perfect finishing touch, adding a tangy and flavorfu
