Cobb chicken salad two ways
Indulge in the delicious flavors of a classic Cobb chicken salad with a unique twist. Enjoy the perfect blend of fresh ingredients and mouthwatering taste.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- Salad greens, for serving, optional
- 12 slices sourdough bread, optional
Instructions:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, carefully place the eggs into the water. Cover and let them simmer for 10 minutes. Then, drain the eggs and rinse them under cold water until they are cool. Remove the shells from the eggs and dice them.
- Heat the bacon in a wide frying pan over medium heat, turning it occasionally, until it becomes crispy, which should take about 10 to 12 minutes. Place the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil, then roughly chop it up.
- Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce in a big bowl. Mix in the blue cheese and chives, saving some chives for decoration, then season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, tomatoes, scallions, avocado, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, and parsley, reserving some bacon, egg, and parsley for later garnish, and mix everything well. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary. Keep it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- For a salad presentation: Spread the chicken salad over a layer of greens. Decorate with some of the egg, bacon, chives, and parsley.
- For a sandwich presentation: Place the chicken salad between two slices of sourdough bread.
