A Cobb salad is a main-course salad that was first created at the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California, in the late 1920s or early 1930s. It is typically composed of cold chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, crisp romaine lettuce, tomato, crispy bacon, chives, Roquefort cheese, and red-wine vinaigrette. The salad is often served with a side of French bread or croutons. The name "Cobb" comes from Robert H. Cobb, the owner of the Brown Derby, who is said to have invented the salad as a late-night snack. In Hebrew, the salad is known as סלט קוב (Salat Kob). In Spanish, it is called ensalada Cobb, and in French, it is referred to as salade Cobb. The Cobb salad is notable for its combination of ingredients that provide a balance of flavors and textures, making it a popular choice for a hearty, nutritious meal.
