Cobb salad component Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

This recipe provides the key components for a classic Cobb salad: perfectly cooked bacon, hard-boiled eggs, and a simple vinaigrette. Assemble with lettuce, chicken, avocado, tomato, and blue cheese for a complete salad.

Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble when cool.
2. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let stand 12 minutes. Transfer to ice water and cool completely. Peel and chop.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified.
4. Store bacon, eggs, and vinaigrette separately in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the salad.

Tips

• For a shortcut, use pre-cooked bacon or rotisserie chicken.
• The vinaigrette can be made up to 3 days ahead; shake before using.
• Assemble salad just before serving to keep ingredients crisp.
