Shaved Egg Cobb Salad

We were eager to try the Shaved Egg trend and a lightened up Cobb Salad was the perfect way to do it!  Healthy, easy and fun, this one delighted our whole family.  Topped with our “Go-To Herb Dressing,” give this one a try!  Naturally gluten free, too!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

Salad:

4 heads romaine lettuce, chopped 

1 1/2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved 

2 avocados, puts removed and sliced. 

4 scallions, chopped 

8 slices bacon, cooked 

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 

4 hard boiled eggs

Dressing:

Large handful fresh herbs (basil, thyme and chives are our favorite) or sub 1 Tbsp favorite dried herbs 

¾ cup avocado mayonnaise 

4 cloves garlic

2 1/2 Tbsp agave nectar

1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar 

1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 

1 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

Chop all veggies and crumble bacon.  Lightly sprinkle kosher salt on cut tomatoes.

Plate salads with romaine on bottom and group remaining ingredients along plates including tomatoes, avocados, scallions, bacon and shredded mozzarella.  Using a microplane, grate one hard boiled egg over each plate.  

Prepare dressing.  Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Alternatively, finely chop herbs and garlic and whisk in a medium bowl with remaining ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over salads.  Serve immediately.   

Any extra dressing can be reserved in an airtight container for 3 days in refrigerator.
