What is a Cobb Salad?

A Cobb salad is similar to a Chef’s salad. It has a base of leafy greens that are topped with meat, cheese, eggs and more veggies. This salad starts with spinach and lettuce, and it ends with a tasty yogurt dressing! Truly, this easy homemade salad is like something you’d get at a Mediterranean restaurant.

Recipe Ingredients

For the Salad

Baby Spinach Leaves
Lettuce: I use spring mix lettuce or torn romaine.
Bacon: Cook the bacon to your desired crispiness and crumble it up!
Hard Boiled Eggs
Roma Tomatoes
Avocado: Peel your avocado, remove the pit and dice it.
Feta Cheese
Black Olives

For the Dressing

Yogurt
Milk: This thins out your dressing a bit. You could also use lemon juice, olive oil, or water.
Minced Garlic

How to Make this Cobb Salad

Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine spinach, lettuce, crumbled bacon, diced eggs, tomatoes, avocado, cheese and olives.
Make Dressing: In a separate mixing bowl, combine yogurt, milk, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper; whisk to combine. Taste your dressing and adjust it accordingly.

Tips for the Best Cobb Salad

Finely Dice Veggies: To disperse your vegetables throughout the salad, dice them and mix well so each bite has all the flavors and texture.
Season to Taste: Be sure to give your dressing a taste before you drizzle it over your salad and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve Immediately: This Cobb salad is best served right when you make it. If you want to make it ahead of time, refrigerate prepared ingredients separately and combine them when you’re ready to serve.
