Instructions
- Toss the iceberg lettuce, chicory, and watercress together and arrange in a large salad bowl.
- In straight and separate lines, arrange the turkey, tomatoes, avocado, blue cheese, bacon, and eggs on top of the greens. Sprinkle the chives in a diagonal line across the salad.
- To make the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together the water, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic, sugar, pepper, and dry mustard until combined.
- Whisking constantly, add the vegetable oil and the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing is emulsified. Store covered and chilled until ready to serve. Whisk the dressing to blend just before serving. (Makes ⅔ cup dressing.)
- Present the salad at the table, toss with the dressing and serve.
