Cobb Salad
Made on the fly by Hollywood restaurateur Bob Cobb in 1937, the Cobb salad is a world-famous American dish. Here's a fresh take, with all the original appeal and an extra special presentation. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

I've only made the salad dressing in this recipe. It is a very popular dressing in our house and always gets raves. If I don't have dry mustard powder, which really makes a difference in this recipe, I'l use 1 to 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard. Making this again this week! Thank you for posting!
This is a very good dinner salad. The dressing is great and not to vinegar forward which I like. Relatively easy to put together with the available mixed greens you can buy. Even hubby was happy with this for dinner and it does fill you up. I will be making this one often.
This was great! We really enjoyed it!
Cobb is my favorite salad. I add extra blue cheese and use blue cheese salad dressing.
One of my favorite salads. The dressing is light and tasty. Exactly what the cobb salad dressing should be. I added a bit of green onion to mine but otherwise it was just the same.
I love Cobb Salad and this is a good one. The dressing is wonderful! I have been making the dressing since it was first published. It tastes great on any salad. A keeper!
Very pretty salad. I have made it several times. It is very good.
