Cobb Salad

I didn't think this salad was anything special, but it was a good solution for a busy Halloween, because: I could make it ahead of time, and it nicely countered all the candy we ate that day. BH will eat anything with bacon, so he was happy. My kids hated it, but were happy with the Milwaukee Sourdough toast from Red Hen Bread.

Cobb Salad
Serves 3 families

For the dressing:
3 Tbsp. Red wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil

For the salad:
3 heads of romaine, washed and chopped
6 hard boiled eggs, quartered
3 grilled chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 lb. of bacon, cooked, anc crumbled
2 avocados, diced
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
8 oz. white cheddar cheese, 1/4-inch cubes

Make the dressing by whisking together all the ingredients except the oil. Drizzle that in, slowly, at the last minute while you're whisking.

Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.
