Original Hollywood Brown Derby Cobb Salad
You can make a Brown Derby Cobb Salad at home with this easy copycat recipe.
Ingredients
Salad Dressing
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon mustard powder dry
- 1/2 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
Salad
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce finely chopped
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch watercress finely chopped
- 1 small bunch curly endive finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chive minced
- 2 Roma tomato seeded and diced
- 4 ounces chicken breast cooked and shredded
- 6 lices Bacon cooked and diced
- 1 avocado peeled and diced
- 3 egg peeled and diced, hard-boiled
- 1/2 cup Roquefort cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Combine all the salad dressing ingredients and mix well. Store the dressing in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving.
- Mix the salad greens together in a large wide bowl.
- Arrange the chives, tomatoes, chicken, bacon, avocado, eggs, and cheese in rows over the greens.
- Before serving, pour 1/2 cup of the prepared dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Notes
- The chicken can be boiled, roasted, or even grilled. Do not use fried chicken because it doesn't work well in this salad.
- Roquefort cheese is also a must. There are variations of this salad that use cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese or none at all.
- Substitute blue cheese dressing for a low-carb and keto-friendly version.
- Like any salad, this salad is best enjoyed right away and all at once. If you want to prepare the salad ahead of time, put it together without the dressing and keep it refrigerated. Put the dressing on right before you eat it.
