Cobb Salad
2nd June, 2017

I’ve been asked by friends why the Cobb Salad doesn’t contain any corn on the cob or cob nuts. Surely the salad is named after a main ingredient

It turns out that it’s named after a restaurant owner where it was first served. Anyway, the name has stuck and the salad is a legend.

Ingredients

2 Baby Gem lettuces, pulled apart into individual leaves

1 avocado, stoned and sliced

2 tomatoes, chopped

4 rashers cooked crispy bacon

1 chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped into chunks

For the dressing

75ml buttermilk

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tbsp chopped dill

½ garlic clove, crushed

Method

In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together with some salt.

Arrange the salad ingredients separately on a large plate and serve with the dressing separately
