Directions

1. Dressing: Blend all ingredients except oil and cheese in a blender (or using an immersion blender) until smooth. With the motor running, very gradually drizzle in oil. Once thick, blend in cheese just until uniformly combined. Makes about 1 1/2 cups (375 ml). Reserve in refrigerator for up to 4 days.

2. Salad Board: Arrange lettuce on the board and top with chicken, tomatoes, croutons, bacon and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle grated eggs decoratively on top, and a few sliced hard-boiled eggs on the side. Drizzle with dressing or serve on the side. Serve with lemon wedges

Tips

1. Toss a couple of extra chicken breasts on the grill ahead of time to have leftovers for this delicious salad or use deli-prepared grilled chicken.

2. Replace grilled chicken with chopped, cooked chicken fingers for a pub-style salad.

3. Cobb Salad Dressing Variation: remove 1 and 1/2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce and anchovy paste and add 1 tbsp of plain yogurt or buttermilk to the dressing instead. Substitute white wine vinegar for red wine vinegar in the dressing. Add only 1 clove of garlic, grated instead of 2 cloves and remove the grated Parmesan cheese.

4. Cobb Salad Board Variation: use 8 cups of iceberg lettuce or mixed greens instead of romaine lettuce. Substitute grilled chicken breasts for roasted or grilled chicken of your choosing. Add a cup of sliced radishes, shredded red cabbage, and cubed Cheddar cheese. Remove the garlic croutons, crumbled bacon and shaved Parmesan and substitute it with 1 avocado sliced.
