Cobb Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette

Today I will share with you a one act play.

Dinner One Night
By: Erin

Erin is in the kitchen, peering into the fridge. She closes the fridge. 
Enter: The Husband.

Erin: [Turning to The Husband.] Wanna have Cobb salad for dinner?
The Husband: [Scowl. Squint eyes in a dubious manner.]
Erin: It has bacon and hard-boiled eggs in it.
The Husband: Ok.

End scene.


Do you have leftover Easter eggs? If so, you can re-enact this play at your house tonight. Let me know how it goes.

Cobb Salad
Serves: 4

1 large head Romaine lettuce, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tomatoes, chopped
4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
6 slices bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled (or shredded cheddar for the non-blue cheese eaters)
2 cooked chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1/3 cup honey Dijon vinaigrette (recipe below)
Pepper, to taste

Arrange lettuce on individual plates or a large platter for serving. Neatly arrange tomatoes, eggs, bacon, blue cheese, and chicken on top of lettuce. Drizzle vinaigrette over top. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper.
