The original cobb salad recipe from Bob Cobb himself was made in 1926. The Brown Derby restaurant in Los Angeles, California was where this classic salad hails from.
The salad, packed with protein and vegetables, is a meal all to itself. Just keep it out of the sun as much as possible because you want those veggies crisp and fresh.
