very good, there are so many variables to the name Cobb Salad. I had a good one once from Applebees, on a promotional menu item, not back since tho', but they used grilled sliced steak instead of chicken, I have made it both ways several times. always a very good meal in a platter type bowl. lol.

This was GOOD, so good I took leftovers for lunch the next day. (The avocado browns overnight, naturally, but it doesn't squick me out, although it bothers my husband. MORE LEFTOVERS FOR ME.) I think this recipe would be heavenly as-is, but even with the substitutes I had to use it was five-star worthy. I used cheddar instead of bleu cheese, a romaine lettuce mix instead of iceberg, and I left out the green onions because we didn't have any.

What a nice salad. The addition of blue cheese really adds a nice flavor, too. Recommend making this one. It's such a nice change and it doesn't take too long to make... well worth it.

leave out what you dont like, and add what you do. i usually add deli turkey breast and shredded carrots. i leave out bleu cheese and tomatoes. thats the beauty of making this salad at home. i am a texas girl, so ranch dressing on salads is the only way to go for me :-). your favorite dressing would be your best bet obviously.

Delicious classic! I make this when I have some leftover chicken. It's a lot of prep work but it's worth it. Especially the leftovers.

Love this stuff!! It is practically a staple at my house!! My husbands favorite Cobb Salad is the " Shrimp Cobb Salad" he orders at a private club in downtown Fort Smith. Every time I make this he feels like he is eating in a Restaurant!! I typically use shrimp, but have used chicken and ham. After I buy groceries ( using the shopping list ,of course) I shred my lettuce, cut tomatoes, boil and chop eggs and avocados and place in airtight containers in the fridge. I also keep shrimp and cooked chicken in the freezer, so that all I have to do is build this lovely salad!! I am addicted to the Authentic Thousand Island, so I use it instead of ranch dressing. Yum, Yum!!

This was so fresh wonderful and full of flavor. I think bottled ranch would ruin the pure flavors here so I made the Ranch Dressing II from this site they were made for each other. I will make this many more times.

I can't believe that a salad can be so good! I didn't change a thing. I hardly ever use avocado (and my boyfriend chose not to have it on his salad), but I put it on mine and I think it was fantastic. So buttery and good. Great recipe!

Good salad - I rarely follow the recipe exactly, just start chopping things up! I like to make it like they do at Cheesecake Factory; basically chop everything into little pieces and then toss it all together with the dressing. (I use ranch because my BF prefers it). The salad doesn't look as pretty this way but you get more flavors with each bite.

I made this last night, and it was perfect! or so I want to think since I was so eader to eat that I forgot to add the sliced eggs I had ready for the salad! only at the end of the dinner my husband asked "and what are you going to do with those sliced eggs? I thought they were for the salad" Oops! they ended up in an egg salad for work sandwiches, and the Cobb salad did not suffer from the missing 1/2 egg per serving! I served the salad with teh Ranch Dressing II in this Web and it was truly a success! Great and simple recipe - a complete meal for a pretty day!

I think everyone should use whatever dressing they like! The salad is GREAT!!! For reference this is the Original Cobb Salad Dressing from the Brown Derby Makes 1 1/2 cups 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 teaspoons salt 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon dry English mustard 1 small clove garlic, finely minced 1/4 cup full-flavored olive oil 3/4 cup salad oil Blend all ingredients together, except oils. Add olive and salad oils. Mix well. Blend well again before mixing with salad. A note from the Brown Derby: "The water is optional, depending upon the degree of oiliness desired in the dressing."

Loved this one! Served it for my Mother-in-law's Scrabble luncheon and it was a huge hit. I substituted BBQ Chicken deli meat, cutting it into strips for the chicken and it gave a nice flavor which complemented the blue cheese.

This is a hearty salad. I added a few cashews to it and used the ranch dressing you make (adding buttermilk and mayo to it). My husband gobbled it up.
