Here is my version of the classic Cobb salad, first served at the Brown Derby, a famous Hollywood restaurant.
The story goes that the owner, Bob Cobb, fed up with hot dogs and hamburgers every day, chopped up some ingredients he had on hand and layered them over iceberg lettuce. The Brown Derby is no more, but the salad is still famous.
This is a vegetarian version. A true Cobb includes chopped chicken and bacon.
