If you think salads are a little too light and leafy, try this classic Cobb. A bed of deep-green romaine peeks out from under rows of crispy bacon, boiled eggs, chopped chicken, blue cheese and avocado. An easy balsamic-Dijon vinaigrette ties it all together for a salad that eats like a meal.

Ingredients

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and dried
4 hardboiled eggs, peeled and quartered
12 ounces cooked chicken, diced
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 package grape tomatoes, halved
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Preparation

In a cup, whisk the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar and salt. Whisk in the olive oil and reserve.
Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and spread on a large platter or in a large bowl.
Arrange the eggs, chicken, bacon, avocado, blue cheese and tomatoes in rows, either like the spokes of a wheel or as stripes across the lettuce.
Top with scallions, drizzle with dressing and serve.
