Ingredients

  • Vinaigrette
  • 1/2 cup Roquefort cheese, grated

  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon honey-Dijon mustard

  • 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Salad
  • 1/2 head romaine lettuce, chopped (about 3 to 4 cups)

  • 1/2 head Boston lettuce, chopped (about 3 to 4 cups)

  • 1 1/2 cups watercress, stems removed and chopped

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cooked and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 6 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled

  • 2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 4 vine-ripened tomatoes, seeded and diced

  • 3/4 cup Roquefort cheese, crumbled

  • 1 hard-boiled large egg, forced through a sieve (grated)

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives

Directions

  • To make the dressing
  • Whisk together the grated cheese, vinegar, and mustard. In a slow steady stream, whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Season the vinaigrette with salt, and pepper to taste.
  • To make the salad
  • Rinse and dry all the salad greens, and toss them together in a large bowl. Arrange the chicken, bacon, avocado, tomato, and Roquefort in uniform rows on top the mixed greens. Garnish with the grated hard-boiled egg, and chives.
  • Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss.
