How to make Lobster Cobb Salad

Make a bed of lettuce on a platter, in a shallow serving bowl, or on individual plates. Arrange over the lettuce, in rows or in a checkerboard pattern, the eggs, bacon, watercress, avocados, tomatoes, and lobster meat, covering the lettuce almost completely. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, maple syrup, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Using a fork, mash in the egg yolks to make a paste. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to form a thick dressing. Stir in the chives.

To serve, pour some of the dressing over the salad. Sprinkle with the blue cheese. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
