Is it still Cobb Salad without the avocado?
Lettuce - check
Cubed Turkey - check
Bacon - check
Hard boiled eggs - check
Tomatoes - check
Bleu Cheese - check
Avocados - OOPS!
Forgot to pick up the avocado this weekend. I also forgot chives, but in my defense my recipe didn't call for chives. In my research to determine how essential the avocado is to Cobb Salad I discovered that a traditional one would also include the chives.
Dressing for Cobb Salad
3 Tbs red wine vinegar
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp dijon mustard
Whisk together in a large bowl. Add lettuce for salad to bowl and toss with dressing.
This is an incredibly yummy salad. I can't believe I've lived 45 years without trying this! Both Flower Child and I agree that this could be a dinner main dish, although the rest of the family probably would like some kind of pasta alongside it. Tonight I served it with mac and cheese.

I am glad to know that I'm not the only one who feels that an avocado is a MUST have in a cobb salad!
What if your guest didn’t like avacodos. Is there a substitute
