California Cobb Salad

Since I’m posting a salad recipe today, I thought I’d tell you about my salad hiatus. I think it has to do with the colder weather? Who knows. But every year, once the cold weather hits, I opt for roasted vegetables or vegetable soups, not salads. I’m not sure why or how, but I managed to crave this Cobb Salad beauty so I made it happen, conveniently on the day that I had a film crew in my house.

But first, what is a cobb salad?

Cobb salad is an all American garden salad! Typically made with salad greens, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, bacon, chicken, avocado, and chives and topped with a red wine vinegarette. 

Main Ingredients

I made this recipe with slight variations to the classic but it is still SO good! Gather up these ingredients to get started:

• romaine lettuce
• blue cheese
• grape tomatoes
• bacon
• avocado
• hard-boiled eggs
• ranch dressing

How to make Cobb Salad

This California Cobb Salad recipe is easy to throw together! Prepare your ingredients then toss in a bowl or line them up as pictured. For full recipe details, check the recipe card down below!

Dressing

To make the dressing simply combine regular ranch dressing with blue cheese crumbles and chopped chives. Voila! A simple cobb salad dressing.

Variations

• Cheese – a great replacement for blue cheese is feta or even a nice mild cheddar would be good. I know not everyone is a fan of blue cheese and that’s okay 🙂
• Dressing – if you want to go the more traditional route, pick up or look for a red wine vinaigrette. Or just go with a regular ranch.
• Chicken – classic cobb salad calls for cooked chicken! Consider grilling some or to make it quick, use shredded rotisserie chicken.
