Kickin' Cobb Salad


I absolutely love Cobb Salad. We had Craig's family over for dinner yesterday and I tossed this together. It was so easy and fast and did I mention I love Cobb Salad??? :) It was really good.

Servings: 8

Ingredients:
6 eggs (three egg-whites only)
9 pieces turkey bacon
dash garlic powder (optional)
2-3 avocados
8 oz kalamata olives
4-5 roma tomatoes
6 oz feta cheese
2 medium heads romaine or green leaf lettuce
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
4 tsp olive oil
2 lemons or 1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
4 tsp dijon mustard
4 tsp raw honey
salt
pepper

Directions:
-fill sauce pan with cold water and bring eggs to boil. Once boiled, remove from stove and cover for 12 minutes. Rinse with cool water, peel and cut up eggs to place in salad, keeping only half of the yokes.

-Heat oven to Broil. Place turkey bacon on cooking sheet and season with salt, pepper, and a tad garlic powder. Heat in oven for about 8 minutes until almost cooked on one side, flip bacon and cook for another 5-8 minutes or until desired crispiness ( I like them REALLY crispy). When finished cut into small pieces.

-Get large bowl or platter and lay lettuce in it.Chop tomatoes,avocados and add those, eggs, bacon, feta cheese, olives, to lettuce.

-Get small bowl and wisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, dijon and honey. Pour on top of salad and serve!
