In a small bowl or a jar, combine the dressing ingredients and set aside. If using a jar, seal the lid, and shake to combine the ingredients.
To a LARGE bowl, add the lettuce to the bottom, then lay out the rest of the ingredients in neat rows.
Right before serving, dress the salad and gently toss to combine.
- Yield: This salad serves 4 as an entree or 6 as a side salad
- Chicken for Cobb Salad: I used rotisserie chicken here, but grilled chicken, boiled chicken breasts, or any other chicken can be used instead. Do what's easiest for you.
- Make sure the bowl you use is big enough. You want enough room to add all of the ingredients and toss the salad before serving it. A platter is a good option as well.
- Try different dressings. Ranch, Creamy blue cheese, French, or Italian dressings can all be delicious on a Cobb salad. The dressing in this recipe is a quick homemade honey mustard.
- Onion and Tomato Substitutions: Instead of red onion, try white onion or green ones. Any fresh tomatoes can be used instead of cherry tomatoes.
- Cheese substitution. If you don't want to use blue cheese, crumbled feta is another good option.
- To Store: You can store the salad and the dressing, separately, in the fridge for a day or so. Add the dressing right before serving.
