Second place winner in the 2009 Craze-E Contest. Part BLT, part cobb salad, this meal in a bowl combines the best of both. I almost called it Blobb Salad or CobBLT, but neither sounded very appetizing--LOL!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Salad

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
6 mushrooms, sliced
1 medium avocado, sliced
1 cup fresh large tomato, cut into bite-size pieces
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons toasted nuts (optional, I used walnuts)

Dressing

4 ounces blue cheese
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh dill (or 1/2 t dried dill)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1
Mix yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Crumble in blue cheese and mash with a fork, stirring until thick and creamy, but still chunky.
2
Place lettuce in a large bowl and add bacon, mushrooms, cheddar cheese, red onion, and nuts (if using). Toss briefly just to combine ingredients.
3
Add tomatoes and avocado. Gently and briefly toss.
4
Scoop salad into individual serving bowls. Top each with eggs and then salad dressing.

I really liked this recipe. The use of the contest ingredients was great, and it tasted really good together. Bacon and tomato are a can't miss combination. My only complaint is that I don't think there's enough onion in it. I ended up adding about twice as much. But, I just really love onions.

I enjoyed all the veggies in this salad. I did use veggie bacon. I used fresh dill from the garden. Lots to like. Thanks and good luck.

A BLT is my favorite sandwich and blue cheese is my favorite salad dressing. I love avocadoes in or on anything or by themselves. What more could I ask for? This salad was all that I expected (and more)! The dressing was awesome. The salad had all of my favorite salad ingredients. It looked fantastic and was easy to make. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

Very nice salad. I loved the variety of the ingredients...made for a good 'meal'. I thought the blue cheese was a little strong, and overpowered the taste of the avocados. Other than that, it was wonderful, and will certainly be made again. I will however, tone down the blue cheese portion. Great contribution to the contest. Good luck to you.
