Salads - Main DishCOBB SALAD
1 cooked whole chicken breast, skinned, boned, cubed (about 1 1/2 cups)*
2 eggs, hard-cooked, coarsely chopped
6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
4 cups salad greens, torn into bite-size pieces
1 large tomato, peeled, chopped
3 to 4 green onions, sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1 avocado, peeled, cubed, tossed in lemon juice
4 oz. (1 cup) crumbled blue cheese
1/2 to 1 cup prepared thousand island salad dressing
To serve, arrange all ingredients except dressing in rows on large serving platter or in a 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish. Or, arrange each serving on an individual lettuce-lined serving plate. Spoon dressing over each salad or pass dressing to be spooned over individual servings.
*When poaching chicken to be used for salads, use a flavorful stock enlivened with fresh herbs. Tarragon, thyme and basil are good choices. Allow the chicken to cool in the stock so that it absorbs as much flavor as possible.
