Recipe

Healthy eating is very important as well as exercising to losing weight and being healthy. Veggetables is something you should be eating in almost every meal. Every once in a while we like to eat salads for dinner. One of my favorite is Cobb Salad. This one I actually got off of Wikipedia:


Cobb salads are presented in a variety of ways. One common presentation uses a round bowl or plate, and places the ingredients in quadrants, arranged based on color and contrast.[5]


[edit] Original recipe
The original recipe contained:[6]

Lettuce (head lettuce, watercress, chicory, and romaine)
Tomatoes
Crisp bacon
Chicken breast
Hard-cooked eggs
Avocado
Roquefort cheese
Chives
Special Cobb salad vinaigrette

[edit] Salad dressing
Although there are many variations on the dressing used for a Cobb salad, this one is purported to be the one originally used at the Brown Derby.[6]

1/4 cup water
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon dry English mustard
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup full-flavored olive oil
3/4 cup salad oil


For the salad dressing we have actually just used red wine vinaigrette because my husband wasn't a big fan of the dressing given.
