The original Cobb salad was developed by Bob Cobb in 1937 for his Brown Derby restaurant in Los Angeles. It has become a famous American dish and is akin to a chef’s salad. It starts with a bed of green lettuce with rows of ingredients arranged on top, just like we did in our Salmon Cobb Salad, and it’s served with a dressing.
Cobb Salad Ingredients:
We love using the cooked chicken breast from our Juicy Instant Pot Whole Chicken, but a store-bought rotisserie chicken works great for saving time and the only thing you need to cook is bacon and hard-boiled eggs. This is a super satisfying salad. Since it contains a lot of protein, you can eat it as a main course or as a side salad.
Can I substitute blue cheese?
The cheese of choice for the original Cobb salad is blue cheese. We used a gorgonzola blue cheese but a Roquefort or other blue cheese would also work. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, a crumbled feta would also be suitable here.
