Patricia Wells's Cobb Salad: Iceberg, Tomato, Avocado, Bacon, and Blue Cheese

This vibrant Cobb salad is a refreshing take on the American classic, offering a sophisticated balance of crisp textures and bold flavours. The combination of cool iceberg lettuce, juicy heirloom tomatoes, and creamy avocado provides a wonderful base for the salty tang of crumbled Roquefort. By using a light yoghurt and lemon dressing, this version remains a nutritious choice for those looking for a satisfying yet diabetes-friendly lunch or light dinner.

Perfect for a quick weekday meal or a relaxed weekend brunch, this salad is as versatile as it is colourful. The smoky bacon adds a savoury depth that complements the sharp blue cheese beautifully, while the spring onions provide a mild, peppery finish. Serve it immediately in a chilled bowl to maintain the crispness of the leaves and the freshness of the seasonal produce.

Ingredients for Patricia Wells's Cobb Salad: Iceberg, Tomato, Avocado, Bacon, and Blue Cheese

  • 70g smoked bacon, rind removed, cut into matchsticks (3/4 cup)

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped (4 cups)

  • 2 ripe heirloom tomatoes, cored, peeled, seeded, and chopped

  • 1 large ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cubed

  • 110g chilled blue cheese (preferably Roquefort), crumbled (160g )

  • Yoghurt and Lemon Dressing

How to make Patricia Wells's Cobb Salad: Iceberg, Tomato, Avocado, Bacon, and Blue Cheese

  1. In a large, dry skillet, brown the bacon over moderate heat until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to several layers of paper towels to absorb the fat. Blot the top of the bacon with several layers of paper towels to absorb any additional fat. Set aside.

  2. In a large, shallow bowl, combine the bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, and spring onions. Toss with just enough dressing to lightly and evenly coat the ingredients. Season generously with pepper, and serve.
