The Egg Goes Southwestern

April 14, 2011

When I was deciding on recipes to feature for this week to celebrate Easter and eggs I knew I wanted something that used hard boiled eggs in the ‘non-traditional’ since (you know not as in deviled eggs and egg salad sandwiches). Not that there is anything wrong with these foods (I love them dearly) but I wanted something slightly different.

That’s where the wheels in my head started turning and I couldn’t stop thinking about a nice fresh cobb salad! I love the flavors of Southwestern/Tex-mex food and wanted to come up with a cobb salad to reflect this. So here it is the final salad in all it’s Southwestern glory. Crisp lettuce, juicy chicken, sweet corn, plump tomatoes and black beans. And of course those darn hard boiled eggs!

Notes: The chicken I serve with this is what I called salsa chicken. It is so incredibly easy to make and is perfect in tacos, burritos, tortilla soup, enchiladas, served with rice or just about any dish Southwestern/Tex-mex/Mexican inspired. Also I have this photographed with all the salad ingredients on a serving platter. This is a great way to serve an entree salad like this at a dinner party. Set up a serving table and allow your guests to make their own salad (think your own salad bar) so that people can add the things they like (and avoid the things they don’t).
