2. Cooking Directions
- Whisk vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl to combine. Whisk in oil until combined. Place salad greens in a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss to coat.

Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Originally developed at a Hollywood restaurant, this classic salad has endured endless interpretation. Our version is fairly true to the original, although we've left the blue cheese optional. Make it a Meal: warm up a crusty baguette and pour a crisp, cold glass of sparkling wine to accompany this salad.
Notes:
Tips
To poach chicken breast: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan and add lightly salted water to cover; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. To hard-boil eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook at the barest simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour out hot water and run a constant stream of cold water over the eggs until completely cooled.

Good Recipe
Jared M - January 10, 2007 02:37:33 PM PSTThe cheese, chicken, and olive oil all provide moretheless "good" fats. the 32 grams of fat sounds high, but it's not loaded with saturated or trans fats. Loose the bacon and egg yolks if you still feel uneasy about the fat, but overall this looks like a pretty good recipe.
Each serving is 450 calories and 32 g of fat.
450 is pretty standard for one meal. If it was 450 for the entire portion, that would be a little over 100 per serving; a can of soda has about the same. That would be would amazingly healthy meal if it only had 100 calories in it.2 of 2 found this review helpful.

First reviewer is right
karlinspring - January 10, 2007 02:12:36 PM PSTThose numbers are per serving. A four-ounce serving of chicken has approximately 35 grams of protein and this recipe calls for a half-pound (8 oz.). That being the case, there is no way the nutritional information listed is for all four servings since it lists only 27 grams of protein.

brita - July 23, 2007 07:27:25 PM PST.. that is one unhealthy salad.. and to the guy who said it was for all four serving.. and you can clearly see under nutrition info it says "per serving" Even the ingredients are unheathy, you can see that right off.
