The cobb salad was created in 1937 by Robert H. Cobb, the owner of The Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California. Cobb was a health-conscious man, and he wanted to create a salad that was both healthy and satisfying. The original cobb salad included lettuce, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, blue cheese, avocado, and chives. Over the years, the cobb salad has evolved to include a variety of other ingredients, such as red onion, celery, and tomatoes. However, the basic ingredients of the cobb salad remain the same: lettuce, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, blue cheese, and avocado.
