Method

  • step 1

    Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the eggs and simmer for 7 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon and pop in a bowl of ice-cold water. Once cool, gently peel the shell off the eggs and set aside.

  • step 2

    Place the bacon on a baking tray lined with foil. Pop under the grill set on high and cook on each side for 4-5 mins or until super-crispy. Leave to cool a little.

  • step 3

    Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and mustard with a good pinch of sugar until thick and glossy. Season generously.

  • step 4

    Remove the outer leaves of the lettuces and slice each one in half lengthways. Divide between two deep bowls and add the avocado, tomatoes and chicken. Top with the crispy bacon and halved soft-boiled eggs, drizzle over the vinaigrette and grind over some black pepper.

Buttermilk? Where does the buttermilk come in. I can’t see it listed anywhere other than in the comments.

question

A ranch dressing sounds nice for a change, but can I substitute buttermilk with yogurt? Thanks for your help.

This is a lovely salad. So simple and the dressing makes it. Had cobb salad many times in America and this is definitely the best. Didn't have any buttermilk in so just looked online how to make it.

This is a really filling salad. I have this a couple of times a week now as it's just so simple, and the dressing you can make in advance and keep in a jar or bottle for the week (I really wouldn't recommend keeping it for longer than 5 days, it goes a bit gloopy).
