Salads

The Cobb salad is an American garden salad typically made with chopped salad greens, tomato, bacon, chicken breast, hard boiled eggs, avocado, chives, and blue cheese, dressed with a red wine vinaigrette. Its ingredients are usually laid out separately in neat rows rather than tossed together, and it is served as a main course.
