  • 2 cups Boston lettuce, chopped fine
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped fine
  • 1 cup watercress, coarse stems discarded, chopped fine
  • 3 ripe avocados (preferably California)
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breasts, diced fine (a rotisserie chicken from the grocery is a real time saver)

  • 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped fine
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar

  2. Halve, pit and peel the avocados and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. Arrange chicken, bacon, tomato and avocado decoratively over the greens. Garnish the salad with the chopped egg and chives.
  4. Dressing Directions: Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add CRISCO® oil in a slow stream, continuously whisking. Whisk dressing until thick and blended.
  6. Stir in Roquefort. Whisk dressing again and pour it over the salad. Toss salad well before serving.
