Cobb Salad
Description
The Cobb Salad assembles two types of lettuce as a base, topped with quartered hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, diced cooked chicken, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced avocado, and blue cheese crumbles. A homemade Greek salad dressing, a red wine vinaigrette, is drizzled over and the salad is either tossed or arranged for presentation.
This combination provides varied textures: crunchy greens, creamy avocado, rich cheese, and protein-packed components like eggs, bacon, and chicken. The dressing adds a tangy brightness that ties the ingredients together without overpowering them.
It can be served as a satisfying standalone meal or a substantial side. Garnishing with chopped chives adds a mild onion note and a touch of color.
The recipe is flexible for serving two but can be easily increased for larger groups. Presentation can be styled by layering the toppings in lines or mixing them in the bowl.
