Salad - Cobb Salad

• Ingredients:
  1/2 lb. bacon, diced
• 1 ripe avocado
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 head Boston lettuce, washed and torn into small pieces
• 1/2 head romaine, washed and torn into small pieces
• 1/2 lb. chicken or turkey breast chopped or sliced
• 2 large fresh tomatoes, diced
• 2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
• 4 scallions cut julienne style
• 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Vinaigrette dressing

Directions:

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until golden and crispy and the fat is rendered, about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and reserve.

Half the avocado, remove the seed, and scoop the halves out of the skin with a large spoon. Dice the avocado, and in a small bowl, gently toss with lemon juice.

Toss the lettuces together and place in large glass or wooden salad bowl. Toss with vinaigrette. If you're serving a group, you may want to serve this "buffet style" and let everyone assemble their own salad. If not, place piles of each topping in a circle atop the lettuce. It will be beautiful when you get it to the table but expect a mess when everyone digs in. Don't worry, it will taste great.
