Cobb Salad – American Garden Style
History :
The cobb salad is a main-dish American garden salad typically made with chopped salad greens. It came about in 1937 at the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, where it became a signature dish. It is named after the restaurant’s owner, Robert Howard Cobb & his chef, Paul J. Posti. Authentic versions of the Cobb salad are prepared using four varieties of greens: iceberg lettuce, watercress, endive and romaine lettuce. Cobb salad is a classic American salad with chicken, bacon, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce and blue cheese. I’m such a fan of this salad as it’s easy, wholesome and filling.
Ingredients :
| 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded | 6 slices bacon |
| 3 eggs | ¾ cup blue cheese, crumbled |
| 1 avocado – peeled, pitted and diced | 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped |

4 Drain, crumble and set aside.
5 Divide shredded lettuce among individual plates.
