Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and drying all your greens: romaine lettuce, watercress, and endive. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Slice the cooked chicken breast into small, even pieces for easy serving. Crumble the crispy bacon and chop the hard-boiled eggs. Dice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes. Prepare all other toppings and set them aside for easy assembly.

Step 3

To prepare the Brown Derby Dressing, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until the dressing is fully emulsified, and set aside.

Step 4

Assemble the salad by layering the toppings in a visually appealing pattern: arrange the chopped chicken, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, and blue cheese crumbles in distinct rows on top of the greens. Sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish.

Step 5

Right before serving, drizzle the prepared Brown Derby Dressing evenly over the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful Cobb Salad!
