AMERICAN-STYLE COBB SALAD
Ever popular, the Cobb salad is pretty substantial as salads go. Part of its appeal is in the way it’s displayed in the bowl and mixed together at the table.
Serves 4
METHOD
• To make the dressing, blend all of the ingredients in a food processor. You might need to add extra buttermilk or water if it’s too thick. It should have the consistency of pouring cream (light cream). Arrange the lettuce and chicory (endive) around a large serving dish or platter.
• Arrange the remaining ingredients in concentric circles, finishing with a sprinkling of herbs and chopped bacon.
• Drizzle over the dressing to serve. Mix well at the table just before you dive in.
