dreamy's Cobb Salad

Three thousand years ago, while the dinosaurs still roamed the earth & I still updated this blog regularly, I belatedly discovered Cobb salads & fell in love with them immediately. Most mocked me for this. dreamy sent me a recipe from Eating Well. dreamy rocks.

• 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons finely minced shallot
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 10 cups mixed salad greens
• 1/2 pound shredded cooked chicken breast
  
• 2 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and chopped
  
• 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1 large cucumber, seeded and sliced
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Whisk vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl to combine. Whisk in oil until combined. Place salad greens in a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss to coat.

Divide salad greens among 4 plates. Arrange equal portions of chicken, egg, bacon, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado and blue cheese on top of the lettuce. Drizzle the salads with the remaining dressing.
