Ingredients
Vinaigrette
1/2 cup Roquefort cheese, grated
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey-Dijon mustard
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad
1/2 head romaine lettuce, chopped (about 3 to 4 cups)
1/2 head Boston lettuce, chopped (about 3 to 4 cups)
1 1/2 cups watercress, stems removed and chopped
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cooked and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
6 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
4 vine-ripened tomatoes, seeded and diced
3/4 cup Roquefort cheese, crumbled
1 hard-boiled large egg, forced through a sieve (grated)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
Directions
- To make the dressing:
- Whisk together the grated cheese, vinegar, and mustard. In a slow steady stream, whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Season the vinaigrette with salt, and pepper to taste.
- To make the salad:
- Rinse and dry all the salad greens, and toss them together in a large bowl. Arrange the chicken, bacon, avocado, tomato, and Roquefort in uniform rows on top the mixed greens. Garnish with the grated hard-boiled egg, and chives.
- Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss.
