The Cobb

Once little known outside Hollywood, where it was one of the stars on the menu of the Brown Derby restaurant, Cobb salad is now served everywhere as a deceptively light lunch. Heaped with blue cheese, bacon, chicken and avocado, it’s a hearty meal that guarantees you won’t be hungry until suppertime.
