Cobb Salad Recipe

I’m not a picky eater, but I am pretty picky when it comes to salads. Actually, I take that back! I’m picky about the lettuce. 

Don’t give me any of that spindly spring mix stuff. I like crunch! I want romaine, butter lettuce or iceberg. I know the others have more nutrients, but I just can’t handle the texture and it seems like it’s always a bit floppy and warm. No thank you!   

If I’m going to eat a salad, then by golly, it better be good! It needs to be satisfying!

All of the ingredients in this cobb salad recipe will leave you with a full and happy tummy! Add homemade breadsticks or these puff pastry Parmesan swirls and you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven! If you’re doing low carb, try this Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks recipe.

I love this vinegarette salad dressing that I’ve included in the printable recipe. But my Cilantro Lime Dressing or my Cilantro Avocado Dressing are also great choices.

To keep all my greens fresh, I like to use this salad spinner because it has its own bowl for soaking.  I first fill it up with cold water and let it soak for a few minutes. This always makes for a crisp salad! Then I rinse it all again and spin dry.

Doesn’t that look amazing?

Lining up your salad ingredients always makes a more dramatic impression! Like my Shrimp Avocado Salad, it’s easy to assemble and it always looks like a professional chef created it!
