Lobster Cobb Salad

Lobster Cobb Salad
Serves 4

Delicious and elegant, the perfect main or side to a summer gathering. We love pairing this Lobster Cobb Salad with our 2019 Chardonnay ATS from the four finest barrels Chardonnay. This Legacy wine is named in honor of our family and has notes of orange blossom, white peach, and lush apricot. Always a fan of Chardonnay and Lobster, this pairing couldn’t be more memorable of a phenomenal summer season.   

2 heads romaine, cut into bite size pieces or kept long for artistic preference 
4 hard boiled eggs, halved
2-3 celery stalks + leaves, thinly sliced
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
1 cup pitted and halved olives
2 lb. lobster, removed from the shells and roughly chopped
Salt, to taste
½ lb. bacon, sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper 

Shingle romaine in a large bowl or on a large platter. Layer eggs, celery, celery leaves, blue cheese, olives and lobster on top of romaine. Season with a sprinkle of salt. 

To make dressing, heat a large skillet over medium high heat and sauté bacon until crispy. Add shallot and garlic cand cook an additional 1-2 minutes until shallot is translucent and garlic is fragrant. Remove to a bowl and cool slightly. Whisk in vinegar and olive oil and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Makes just over one cup dressing. 

Spoon desired amount over salad and enjoy.
