Cobb Salad with Maple Bacon and Prawn | 科布沙律配楓糖煙肉大蝦

Instead of the classic Cobb salad which is usually composed of chicken breast, I used prawn and added sweet corn here.  Actually the ideas of the ingredients for Cobb salad can vary, but the core ingredients are still hard boiled egg, avocado, salad greens, and crispy bacon.

We like to serve this salad as our main course at home because it is easy to prepare and also high in nutritious value.  To make this recipe even simpler and tastier, I roasted the prawn with the bacon so that the prawn could absorb the extra smoky and maple flavour from the meat.

Hope you enjoy this recipe.

Greek Salad | 希臘沙律

Greek salad is actually called "villagers' salad"; it is the simple dish that is composed of many fresh vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, green bell pepper, and onion.  Traditionally, Greek salad does not include lettuce and any other types of bell pepper, nor the addition of elaborative seasoning other than dried oregano and a pinch of salt.  Feta cheese is always presented in chunks or a block, and it will never be crumbled.  A generous amount of olive oil and purplish black olives are a must too.

INGREDIENTS:

2 Tomatoes, medium

1/2 Cucumber

1/3 Red Onion

4. On a serving plate, arrange the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, feta cheese, and olives.  Before serving, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and red wine vinegar, and sprinkle oregano and sea salt.
