Big Cobb Salad is here! The classic rows of juicy chicken, crispy lettuce, pieces of tomato, creamy avocado, savory bacon, and creamy blue cheese are present.
Served with homemade Cobb Salad dressing. Salad was never so good!
I have tried many chicken salad recipes, including Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Thai, and non-Asian options like Avocado Ranch Spaghetti, Lemon Chicken, and a San Francisco bistro-inspired one (which is delicious!).
I was astonished I hadn't made the Cobb Salad, the most iconic chicken salad! It was usually cooked with turkey, not chicken.
Chicken is now more widespread, especially in handmade variants.
Cobb Salad's origins are disputed, but everyone believes that the ingredients should be arranged neatly on a big lettuce bed. It must have blue cheese else it's just chicken salad.
Cobb Salad Dressing is harsher than most dressings since it has a 50/50 oil-to-vinegar ratio instead of 1:3 or 4:1.
The somewhat tangier dressing balances the blue cheese's richness and has fewer calories!
