Thicken sauce by making a buerre manie with butter and flour, and whisking it in until sauce thickens.
I’m making a Cobb Salad with grilled chicken because hubby loves the healthy stuff and it’s colorful and pretty.
You need:
-8 slices bacon (optional)
– 3 eggs
-1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded (I prefer a mix of butter leaf lettuce and romaine lettuce hearts)
-3 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
-2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
-3/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
-1 avocado – peeled, pitted and diced
-3 green onions, chopped
-1 (8 ounce) bottle Ranch-style salad dressing
1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover completely with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
2. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
3. Divide shredded lettuce among individual plates.
4. Evenly divide and arrange chicken, eggs, tomatoes, blue cheese, bacon, avocado and green onions in a row on top of the lettuce.
5. Drizzle with your favorite dressing and enjoy.
I’m also staring with a fruit salsa with cinnamon chips and ending with chocolate dipped strawberries. Yummy!
