Ingredients

6–8 servings

Lobster cobb salad:

1 head iceberg lettuce, cut in wedges
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
8 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, crumbled
2 cups (500 mL) watercress
2 avocados, halved, pitted, and cubed
2 tomatoes, cubed
Meat from 2 steamed lobsters
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup (250 mL) crumbled blue cheese

Dressing:

1 tablespoon (15 mL) red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon (15 mL) Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon (15 mL) maple syrup
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 hard-boiled egg yolks
1/2 cup (125 mL) olive oil
About 2 tablespoons (30 mL) finely chopped fresh chives
  1. For the lobster cobb salad:

    Step 1

    Make a bed of lettuce on a platter, in a shallow serving bowl, or on individual plates. Arrange over the lettuce, in rows or in a checkerboard pattern, the eggs, bacon, watercress, avocados, tomatoes, and lobster meat, covering the lettuce almost completely. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. For the dressing:

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, maple syrup, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Using a fork, mash in the egg yolks to make a paste. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to form a thick dressing. Stir in the chives.

    Step 3

    To serve, pour some of the dressing over the salad. Sprinkle with the blue cheese. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

  • Made exactly as written and it was fabulous- yes, even with the maple syrup in the dressing. It was not too sweet. A great summer salad!

  • A TABLESPOON of maple syrup in the dressing? Seriously? Make the salad but use another dressing recipe, Preferably the original Cobb Salad dressing recipe.
