Cobb Salad

Cobb Salad

To make the *perfect* Cobb salad, you MUST use homemade dressing. And it’s so easy, there’s really no excuse. Just throw some red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil into a mason jar and shake it out. There’s no need to stress over the vinaigrette emulsifying—the mason jar does all the hard work.  

In terms of Cobb salad, you can take a lot of different routes. Our recipe is filled with crispy bacon, hard-boiled eggs, chicken breast, and creamy avocado. For the chicken, you can poach itgrill itbake it, or cook it in an Instant Pot. Or you can replace it with grilled steak or sautéed shrimp. Protein-wise, there’s a lot of room to play. But the blue cheese is kindaaaa nonnegotiable. 😉
