How to make a perfect cob salad

You may be a well-prepared Cobb for the perfect dinner salad-sided, hearty, easy to make and beautiful. Unfortunately, there are many weak cobbs out there that are stingy on the dressing or ho-hum in the joint class. Enter our Birmingham, Alabama -based body kitchen colleague Jasmine SmithThe recipe for the classic cobb is: it rises above the sad cobbies, with the appearance of Hollywood, the perfect balance of textures and bright flavors. Each bite is a crunchy piece of Romain salads and bacon, juicy tomatoes, tasty buggy chicken and hard cooked eggs, and creamy avocado and blue cheese, each of which is connected by the show star: a bitter, slightly sweet homemade vine.

A brief story of Cobb salad

The Cobb salad has been an American favorite since its inception in the 1930s and its origin is as colorful as the salad itself. It is said that Robert H. Cobb, owner of the Los Angeles legendary Brown Derby restaurant, has become a quick -cut menu item. Some accounts attribute the salad invention to Cobb, others to Brown Derby's chef Paul J. Posti. According to The Wall Street JournalOne of the popular stories about creating a salad is that Cobb only ate until midnight, so he mixed the remains in the kitchen and threw it with Derby with a popular bitter house dressing. Other stories preserve the overall story of expomic late night, but the post office throws the salad together.

The stories of your invention may be an element of Hollywood -style fantasy, but it fits into a salad that seizes the essence of fresh and tasteful California cuisine. Not surprisingly, he quickly became a pet, not only at Brown Derby and other Hollywood restaurants, but also in households and restaurants nationwide.

Although this salad is simply made at home, Jasmine found that there are some golden rules that can be followed by the best possible Cobb salad.

3 rules for the final cob salad

1. Stretch the blender to make the dressing and not be afraid of the vinegar. Jasmine found that with the dressing in the blender, instead of manual whisk, not only light and efficient, but also a fool -safe way to create a smooth, velvety emulsified grape that sticks to each ingredient. First, it mixes the red wine vinegar, the dijon mustard, the honey, the salt and the pepper, then sift the oil into the blender and the device is still running to make the mixture completely emulsifier.

And don't skim the vinegar! A half cup of vinegar may seem like a lot, but trust us, which creates the vinaigrette's signature spicy taste that accelerates the salad and stands up for rich ingredients like hard cooked eggs and avocado.

2. Use traditional dressing in a non -conventional way to taste for each bite. COBB salads can serve in many ways – the most common as a thrown salad in which the ingredients are combined with both sauce or composed salad, with the side dressing. Both performances have advantages: the tossed salad ensures that all ingredients are well involved in the tasteful grapes, while the composed salad has an attractive presentation that highlights the ingredients of the ingredients. In order to make the most of both serving options, use the traditional dress, use the salad, chicken and tomatoes separately -dressed separately before arranged in a bowl so that the whole salad is perfectly seasoned.

3. Lightly arrange the ingredients over the bed of the dressed Romain. I really believe in the old saying that “we eat with our eyes first” and the Cobb is a great way to embody this principle. This salad is a celebration of fresh textures and vibrant colors, and by attracting everything over the chopped salad. Be creative and arrange everything in cute little bundles or long, elegant lines on the whole bed of chopped salad.

We built the links to make the roared chicken, bacon and hard cooked eggs for the salad. Each of them can be cooked a few days earlier, so the salad can only come together in a few minutes before serving. Or feel free to use remaining chicken, bacon and boiled eggs that are already on hand for the salad. After all, how the Cobb is said to be invented.
