Even though most salads are considered light fare, a Cobb salad is substantial enough to make a one-dish meal. Created by Bob Cobb in the 1920s at the Brown Derby restaurant in Los Angeles, it has become a classic that New Englanders enjoy, too. Its combination of salad greens, tomatoes, avocados, chicken, bacon, blue cheese, and hard-boiled eggs supplies you with plenty of vegetables and protein.
People go wild for this tasty combination of crisp bits of bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and crunchy scallions. These flavors work so well together, you almost can’t go wrong when you put them in a soup. People sometimes order a dozen bowls at a time—one for everyone at work. It makes me so happy to think that one whole office is slurping up this chowder for lunch.
