Question 1

What is a Cobb Salad?

Accepted Answer

It is a healthy salad made with chicken, bacon, eggs, cheese, and a lot more ingredients served on a bed of greens. This dish is said to have been named after the owner of the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant who popularized this recipe. Whether it was Robert Howard Cobb himself who combined leftovers and came up with this dish or it was simply named after him by another chef, the history of this dish is unverified.

What is the difference between Cobb and Chef Salad?

Accepted Answer

Both dishes sport some meat and hard-boiled eggs over a bed of lettuce. But the key difference is that the Cobb Salad has avocado and tomatoes which lend it a flair of Southwestern flavors.

Question 3

Is cobb salad healthy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It has lots of vegetables that give you fiber and nutrients. You get protein from bacon and eggs. Calcium is what you get from the cheeses. And you get healthy fat from avocado and olive oil. While this is a high-calorie recipe overall, the calories come from fresh and healthy ingredients. Just remember proper portioning to maintain your caloric intake at a healthy level.
