Who Invented Cobb Salad?
- At the end of a long day, Robert Cobb, the inventor of the “Cobb” salad, found a way to combine leftovers in the restaurant kitchen to create his dinner. Basically, the main ingredients are lettuce, bacon, some kind of cheese, some kind of meat, hard-boiled eggs, and an avocado
What are Variations for Cobb Salad?
- You can substitute chicken or turkey for the meat
- Any cheese that you prefer can replace the blue cheese
- Instead of iceberg lettuce, substitute greens or Romain lettuce

Instructions
- Start by baking your tortilla shell (at 350 degrees) – Some of you have the nifty tortilla shell pans. I do not , so I rolled some foil into a big ball and placed that on a baking sheet
- I brushed my tortilla shell with olive oil and placed it over the foil ball. I shaped the shell by making folds into it. I baked it for about 5-10 minutes until the outside was golden then I pulled them off of the foil balls and flipped them over to bake few more minutes
- Prepare your Vinaigrette by mixing all of the ingredients together – whisk until creamy
- Once your shells are out of the oven – place one on each person’s plate, fill with lettuce
- Start making rows of the chopped ingredients – bringing it all the way to the edge of your plate
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the ingredients
Notes
- If you have leftover dressing and ingredients, make a sub sandwich for lunch the next day. It’s so good!
