Cobb Salad is a classic American salad that typically includes chopped lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, blue cheese, and grilled chicken. It’s often served with a vinaigrette or a creamy dressing.
For the best dressing, a classic choice is a tangy red wine vinaigrette, but a creamy blue cheese dressing pairs beautifully with the Cobb Salad’s ingredients. Here’s a quick recipe for both:
Red Wine Vinaigrette
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey.
- Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the blue cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
- Stir in the lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a chunkier texture, lightly mash the blue cheese into the mixture.
Either of these dressings would complement the flavors of a Cobb Salad wonderfully!
