The Cobb salad is an American garden salad typically made with chopped salad greens (authentically romaine lettuce),[1] tomato, bacon, chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, chives, blue cheese (often Roquefort; some versions use other cheeses such as cheddarorMonterey Jack, or no cheese at all) and red wine vinaigrette.[2][1] The ingredients are laid out on a plate in neat rows. It is served as a main course.
Various stories recount how the salad was invented.[3] One says that it came about in 1937 at the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, where it became a signature dish.[3] It is named after the restaurant's owner, Robert Howard Cobb.[4] Stories vary whether the salad was invented by Cobb or by his chef, Paul J. Posti. The legend is that Cobb had not eaten until near midnight, and so he mixed together leftovers he found in the kitchen, along with some bacon cooked by the line cook, and tossed it with their French dressing.[5]
