Speedy Cobb Salad

This salad is a sure fire winner with everyone, and that includes Alex.  Yes the blue cheese dressing is a little naughty....(but makes for another man-friendly salad)...so I'm very cautious when drizzling this over my plate!
It takes under 15 minutes to prepare, and even less to devour....

This is what I used:-
Iceberg lettuce - shredded
1 avocado - sliced
Cucumber - thick chunks
Cherry tomatoes - halved
8 slices of streaky bacon
1 turkey breast sliced thinly

For the dressing:
Blue cheese + half fat sour cream + chives + parsley + squeeze of lemon + salt & pepper

Grill the streaky bacon until good and crispy, then drain on kitchen paper, dabbing any excess fat.

Season turkey slices, and griddle for about 3 minutes turning halfway. 
Any more and the turkey will go rubbery, and we certainly don't want that.

Mix the cheese, (I used St. Agor), sour cream, herbs and lemon juice. 
Have a little taste, and guage how much seasoning is needed.

Build the salad on the plates, top with turkey, crispy bacon and drizzle over the blue cheese dressing.

Serve with love...xoxo....
