Preparation Instructions
- Start by rinsing your mixed salad greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner for quick drying. Tear or chop the greens into bite-sized pieces, and place them in a large bowl.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon strips. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until the bacon is crispy and deep brown. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat, then crumble it into pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of red wine vinegar, ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In the large bowl with the mixed salad greens, layer the cooked chicken breast, crispy bacon, sliced hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced red onion.
- Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette generously over the top. Toss the salad gently to combine, ensuring every piece is lightly coated.
- Plate your vibrant American Cobb Salad with Crispy Bacon immediately.
