🍽️ Classic Cobb Salad Ingredients

Here’s what goes into a traditional Cobb Salad:

Greens: Typically a mix of lettuce like iceberg, romaine, or mixed greens as a base.
Protein: Grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and sometimes shrimp are common options.
Veggies: Diced tomatoes, avocado, cucumbers, red onions, and celery add crunch and freshness.
Cheese: Crumbled blue cheese is a staple for its tangy, sharp flavor.
Dressing: A classic vinaigrette (often red wine or Italian dressing) ties the ingredients together.

🥑 Tips for Variations

Shrimp Cobb Salad: Replace chicken with grilled shrimp for a seafood twist.
Mediterranean Cobb Salad: Add feta cheese, olives, and a lemon-oregano vinaigrette.
Vegan Cobb Salad: Use chickpeas, tofu, or tempeh instead of traditional proteins.

Perfect for a light lunch, dinner, or even as a brunch option, a Cobb Salad can be adjusted to match your tastes while remaining healthy and satisfying!
