Description
Cobb Salad with Green Goddess Dressing. This salad is what I call the "Olivier American style". It mixes a huge number of ingredients that can be infinitely varied by itself. But the best for his dressing - remains unchanged. The salad itself is, according to legend, was invented at random in 1926, the owner of a Hollywood restaurant, Robert Cobb, during the night friendly "RAID" in the kitchen. All the ingredients that were available at that time in the fridge, Cobb laid out in rows on a wide dish and treated his friends. Salad all enjoyed it so much that went into the menu of the restaurant, and subsequently firmly entrenched in traditional American cuisine. And filling the "Green goddess" was specially created for stars of the same play at the time. Since this salad and this dressing inseparable.

Cooking
To prepare the products. Vegetables and all the greens wash and dry. *Despite the large number of ingredients, a salad can be made very easily.
Eggs and chicken boil and cool. *I baked the fillets in foil at 180*C for about 25 minutes, pre-rubbed with salt and pepper. Fillets can also be pan-fried.
At this time, prepare the dressing. To combine the mayonnaise and yogurt 1:1 (or 2:1 optional) Chop green onions, garlic cloves, tarragon leaves and parsley, anchovy fillets, remove the zest of 0.5 lime. Add all this to the mixture of mayonnaise with the yogurt, there also add a teaspoon of white wine vinegar and the juice of half a lime, salt and pepper to taste. *I have tarragon, so I use it. I've seen options with Basil, and cilantro - the main thing is to give a touch of freshness to the taste.
The resulting mixture beat well with a blender until smooth pale green color. Try the gas station. Adjust to your taste, may need to add salt/pepper/anchovies/ garlic/vinegar. Ideally, the dressing has a very delicate, fresh, light flavor with a slight slight kick from the onion and garlic, with the spicy saltiness of the anchovies, with a pleasant acidity. Dressing pour into a gravy boat and send it to cool in the fridge. *Anchovies, in my opinion, here play a very important role, at least they can be replaced with 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Prepare all the other ingredients. Well vyzharit strips of bacon and put them on paper towels.
To prepare the vegetables. Diced avocado, peppers, and chicken breast. Tomatoes and eggs cut lengthwise into quarters.
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. To break hands and lightly season with olive oil with vinegar or lemon juice. Mix well.
On wide dish lay a substrate of lettuce leaves.
On top of the salad put all the prepared ingredients, bacon and blue cheese to break and also to lay out rows.
On the edge of the dish place the bowl with the dressing or serve it separately. *Filling very tasty on their own, I highly recommend to try it! In my opinion, is perfect for vegetable salads, fish and white meat.
The salad is ready. It can be sprinkled with chives, or drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice/vinegar. Options of ingredients in this salad is found in great variety, from the ranks of capers and tuna to mushrooms and beans. Unchanged I have met only avocado, lettuce, blue cheese, bacon, eggs and tomatoes. The more varied the ingredients are, the brighter will be the salad, and the more opportunities for everyone to choose something to your taste. With shared meals, the salad is deposited in the plate and dressed with sauce. This salad is much lighter, fresher and more interesting than our traditional Russian salad, it is definitely worth a try!
Это прекрасно!
