Step 1: Jazz up the Greens

Start by selecting your favorite greens for the base of your salad. Classic Cobb Salads often use lettuce, but why not try a mix of baby spinach and arugula for a peppery kick?

Step 2: Make it Cheesy

Add a unique twist by swapping traditional blue cheese for a creamy goat cheese. Its tangy flavor pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.

Step 3: Roast Those Veggies

Take your Cobb Salad to the next level by roasting some veggies. Toss cherry tomatoes, red bell peppers, and zucchini in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pop them in the oven and let the flavors intensify.

Step 4: Get Creative with Proteins

Rather than the typical chicken, bacon, and hard-boiled eggs, mix things up with grilled shrimp skewers, crispy prosciutto, and soft poached eggs. These proteins will add an unexpected twist to your Cobb Salad.

Step 5: Dress it Up

Top off your salad with a bright and zesty lemon vinaigrette. Combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle it over the salad just before serving.
