Ingredients

  • Blue Cheese Dressing:
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • 3 dashes of Worcestershire
  • Pinch of Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salad:
  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced in half down the middle
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 romaine lettuce heads, chopped
  • 1 iceberg lettuce head, cut into chunks
  • 2 Bibb lettuce heads, cored and leaves separated
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
  • 2 avocados, pitted, peeled and diced
  • 1 lb thin bacon, fried until crisp and chopped
  • 2 cups red grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. To make the dressing, in a medium bowl, mix together the mayo, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth. Add the blue cheese, chives, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Stir all together.

  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and cook until done in the middle, about 3 minutes per side. Let the chicken cool, then dice it up and set it aside.

  3. To assemble the salad, arrange the three lettuces on a large platter in separate piles. Lay on the chicken and the eggs. Then add a pile of avocado, bacon and tomatoes.

  4. Place a pile of blue cheese in the center, then sprinkle some black pepper all over the salad. Serve with a dish of blue cheese dressing.
