CLASSIC COBB SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Meanwhile, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and let stand, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, then run under cold water to cool. Peel under cold running water. Chop the hard-cooked eggs and season with salt.
• Combine the chicken, lemon zest and juice, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns and a large pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; add enough cold water to cover the chicken by 1/2 inch. Bring to a bare simmer over medium heat (do not boil) and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 160 degrees F, about 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, shallot, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a serving bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified; season with pepper. Dice the chicken and toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing in a separate bowl.
• Halve, pit and dice the avocados. Season the tomatoes with salt. Add the Bibb and romaine lettuce to the serving bowl on top of the dressing. Arrange the bacon, hard-cooked eggs, chicken, avocados, tomatoes and blue cheese in rows on top of the lettuce. When ready to serve, toss the salad and season with salt and pepper.

THE ORIGINAL COBB SALAD

SOUTHWESTERN COBB SALAD

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup oil, soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and redpepper flakes in a small bowl. Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade into bag, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lift chicken from bag, allowing excess marinade to drain off. Cook until grill marks appear and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cool chicken completely, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.
• Place eggs in a saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cover; remove from heat. Let sit 11 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold running water until cooled. Peel and roughly chop eggs; set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crisp, and drain on paper towels. Crumble when cool; set aside.
• Place yellow and poblano peppers directly on the trivet of a gas burner over high heat or on the grill or grill pan used for chicken. Turn peppers with tongs as they char. (Alternatively, place peppers on a baking pan; broil in oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Transfer to a large bowl; cover immediately with plastic wrap. Let peppers sweat until cool enough to handle. Peel off blackened skin and discard. Remove seeds; chop yellow pepper into 1/2-inch pieces and poblano into 1/4-inch pieces; set aside separately.
• In a bowl, combine yellow pepper, tomato, olives, and half the chopped onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; set aside. In another bowl, combine poblano with avocados, 1/4 cup cilantro, lime juice, cayenne pepper (if using), and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin; season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Combine black beans with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and chopped onion. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Arrange romaine on a platter. Arrange chicken, eggs, bacon, tomato, avocado, and bean mixture in sections across the romaine. Drizzle with dressing; serve.
