Cobb salad

A salad that has stood the test of time! The Cobb salad was invented in 1937 by Bob Cobb, owner of the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood. He created it by mixing together various leftovers from the restaurant's kitchen, including lettuce, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, tomatoes, scallions, avocado, and bacon. Give it a Mediterranean twist with extra virgin olive oil from Spain. Today, the Cobb salad remains a classic American dish that is beloved by many.
