Cobb Salad

This receipt had a ton of ingredients and it took me longer to prepare my mise en place than it did to make the actual salad. It was a hearty dish for being a salad and I was amazed on how my vinaigrette turned out on the salad in the end because by itself I didn’t really care of it. I probably should have whisked the olive oil more slowly when making the vinaigrette instead of dumping it all in at once. Hopefully I’ll do it correctly next Thursday during my final. I really enjoyed all the protein on the dish - ham, chicken breast and eggs. The avocado also worked well but I probably would make it with another cheese next time instead of blue cheese. One major mistake I made was taking it to work the next day and the avocado had oxygenized to a nasty looking dark brown color. It still tasted okay but very unpleasing when looking at it. All and all it was a nice dish and something I’ll probably make when we want something fairly lite to eat.
