Ingredients:

• 1 head romaine lettuce, rinsed and dried, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, seeded, chopped
• 1 avocado, chopped
• 1/2 lb turkey breast (I used thick-sliced turkey sandwich meat)
• 8 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled
• 1/2 lb blue cheese, crumbled
• 4 hard boiled eggs, shelled, chopped
• 1 T fresh parsley leaves, chopped
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 3 T extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 4 ciabatta rolls

1. Preheat panini press.

2. Combine lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, tur,key, bacon, blue cheese and eggs in a large bowl.

3. Add the parsley, lemon juice and three tablespoons of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well.

4. Slice rolls. Brush insides with a little olive oil. Top roll bottoms with 1/2 cup of salad mixture. Add roll tops and press down gently to get salad to spread out completely. Brush roll tops with a little more oil.

5. Place sandwiches on panini press and heat until cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes.
