The original Cobb salad was developed by Bob Cobb in 1937 for his Los Angeles restaurant Brown Derby. It has become a famous American dish and is similar to a chef’s salad. It starts with a bed of green lettuce with rows of ingredients arranged like we did with our Salmon Cobb Salad and is served with a vinaigrette.
Ingredients for Cobb Salad:
We love using cooked chicken breasts from our Juicy Instant Pot Whole Chicken, but a store-bought rotisserie chicken saves a lot of time and the only thing you need to cook it is bacon and hard-boiled eggs. This is a super filling 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 Gorgonzola blue cheese, but Roquefort or another blue cheese would also work. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, crumbled feta will also work.
