Crab and Shrimp Seafood Cobb Salad
Description
The Crab and Shrimp Seafood Cobb Salad builds on sliced romaine lettuce topped in rows with bay shrimp, snow crab meat, diced cocktail tomatoes, diced hard-boiled eggs, ripe avocado slices, crumbled blue cheese, and diced thick-cut bacon cooked until crisp. The Market Street Red Wine Vinaigrette, made by whisking together canola oil, red wine vinegar, minced shallots, fresh Italian parsley, crushed black peppercorns, and kosher salt, provides a zesty and aromatic dressing that complements the seafood and rich ingredients. The combination offers varied textures, from the tender seafood and creamy avocado to the crunchy bacon and cheese crumble. This salad can be served immediately with dressing poured over or kept chilled for assembling later. It suits a meal that balances protein with fresh greens and flavorful toppings.
