Cobb salad
An American composed salad of greens, chicken, bacon, egg, avocado, tomato and blue cheese with red wine vinaigrette.
About Cobb salad
Cobb Salad is a classic American composed salad associated with Los Angeles, built from leafy greens and neatly arranged rows of substantial toppings. This profile follows a traditional-style version with chicken, bacon, hard-boiled egg, avocado, tomato and blue cheese.
Smoky bacon, savoury chicken and tangy blue cheese make the salad rich and salty, while tomato, avocado and crisp greens keep it fresh. A sharp red wine vinaigrette with lemon, Dijon mustard, garlic and oregano ties the components together.
The finished salad is colourful and structured rather than tossed into uniformity. Crisp lettuce contrasts with creamy avocado and egg, juicy tomato, crumbly cheese and the firmer bite of chicken and bacon.
