Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, smashed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 5 ounces)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
4 cups roughly chopped romaine heart (from 1 heart)
3/4 cup cooked red quinoa
1/2 cup cooked bacon cut into 1-inch pieces (from about 5 slices)
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
1 cup small heirloom cherry tomatoes (about 8 ounces)
1 small avocado, scooped out and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 small watermelon radish, thinly sliced and then quartered

Steps:

  • For the blue cheese dressing: Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, honey, Worcestershire, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 cup of the crumbled blue cheese in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Stir in the chives and the remaining 1/2 cup blue cheese. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Hold in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • For the salad: Toss the romaine and quinoa with 2 tablespoons of the dressing in a serving bowl. Arrange the bacon, eggs, tomatoes, avocados and radishes in even sections over the top of the lettuce. Drizzle with more dressing and serve immediately.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad is really good, but it's not as good as the Cobb salad I had at my favorite restaurant.

I found the hard-boiled eggs to be a bit bland. I would add some salt and pepper to them next time.

This salad is a bit heavy on the mayonnaise for my taste. I would use less next time.

I used a store-bought dressing for this salad and it turned out great. I'm sure it would be even better with homemade dressing, though.

I'm not a huge fan of avocados, but I loved them in this salad. They added a creamy richness that was perfect.
