Cobb Salad with toppings arranged in lines on top in a large bowl.

If I’m in the mood for a salad, a Cobb is usually my first choice. I frequently order it at restaurants because I love the combination of textures and flavors.

There’s even a handy mnemonic for the classic Cobb ingredients: EAT COBB — Eggs, Avocado, Tomato, Chicken, Onion, Bacon, Blue cheese.

This version returns to the more traditional presentation with rows of toppings instead of everything chopped together. I originally shared a chopped Cobb, which is delicious, but arranging the ingredients in strips gives that iconic look and lets everyone pick their favorite bites.

For the dressing I went with a simple vinaigrette to keep things classic, though a creamy avocado ranch or blue cheese dressing also pairs well if you prefer a richer option.
