The Green Goddess Bowl is a modern take on the classic Cobb salad. In the early 1900s, Robert Cobb, the owner of the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California, created the Cobb salad as a quick and easy meal for his busy staff. The salad was originally made with lettuce, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, blue cheese, and tomato. Over the years, the Cobb salad has evolved to include a variety of other ingredients, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, and even quinoa. The Green Goddess Bowl is a lighter and healthier version of the Cobb salad, with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. The avocado lime dressing is a creamy and flavorful way to dress the bowl, and it adds a touch of brightness to the dish.
