My Cobb Salad: Iceberg, Tomato, Avocado, Bacon, and Blue Cheese image

With the crunch of the iceberg and onions, the soft richness of the avocado, the saltiness of the bacon, the sweetness of the tomato, and the bite of the blue cheese, this salad has it all! And it is beautiful to boot.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 ounces smoked bacon, rind removed, cut into matchsticks (3/4 cup)
1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped (4 cups)
2 ripe heirloom tomatoes, cored, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 large ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cubed
4 ounces chilled blue cheese (preferably Roquefort), crumbled (1 cup)
4 small spring onions or scallions, white part only, trimmed, peeled, and cut into thin rounds
Yogurt and Lemon Dressing
Coarse, freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large, dry skillet, brown the bacon over moderate heat until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to several layers of paper towels to absorb the fat. Blot the top of the bacon with several layers of paper towels to absorb any additional fat. Set aside.
  • In a large, shallow bowl, combine the bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, and spring onions. Toss with just enough dressing to lightly and evenly coat the ingredients. Season generously with pepper, and serve.

I tried making this salad, but it didn't turn out well. I think I used too much dressing.

This salad is a bit too heavy for my taste. I would recommend using less bacon and blue cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, so I used ranch dressing instead. It was still really good!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or bacon. It's also a really healthy and satisfying meal.

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The blue cheese dressing is especially delicious.
