Rather than mixing all the salad ingredients together, dress each item separately and then arrange them on a large platter.
Note
You will need a large platter or shallow wide pasta bowl to accommodate this substantial salad. Avocado discolors quickly, so prepare it at the last possible minute, just before assembling the salad. Though watercress is traditional in cobb salad, feel free to substitute an equal amount of arugula, chicory, curly endive, or a mixture thereof. Use more blue cheese if your taste dictates. Grape tomatoes are preferred, but cherry tomatoes can be used.
Well done. Easily made. It even tastes good and is perfect for a presentaiton.

I love a good cob salad! I omit the meat, however.

if you are not to crazy about the fat content from the bacon, try substituting bacon with turkey bacon, it has less fat and sodium than regular bacon and tastes just as good. It took me a while to admit that turkey bacon was good being raised on pork my whole life it was hard to try something new but now I\\'ll never go back.

Toss avocado cubes with a little lemon juice. It will keep the avocado from discoloring.
