Cobb salad

Cobb salad is the quintessential American salad, first pulled together on a whim by Robert Cobb of the former Los Angeles landmark Brown Derby restaurant when he needed to feed Sid Grauman late one night (1937). It was such a hit, movie stars started requesting "Cobb's salad", and soon its popularity spread.

Classic American Cobb salad, a composed salad with bacon, avocado, chicken breast, tomato, hard boiled egg, chives, arranged on a bed of romaine, frisée lettuce and watercress, Roquefort cheese, and red-wine vinaigrette

Some recipes include other types of cheese besides Roquefort, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, or no cheese at all.
