Instructions
Start by washing and drying all your greens: romaine lettuce, watercress, and endive. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into small, even pieces for easy serving. Crumble the crispy bacon and chop the hard-boiled eggs. Dice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes. Prepare all other toppings and set them aside for easy assembly.
To prepare the Brown Derby Dressing, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until the dressing is fully emulsified, and set aside.
Assemble the salad by layering the toppings in a visually appealing pattern: arrange the chopped chicken, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, and blue cheese crumbles in distinct rows on top of the greens. Sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish.
Right before serving, drizzle the prepared Brown Derby Dressing evenly over the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful Cobb Salad!
