Notes

  • Storage: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftover Cobb salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Eggs: Pick up a package of hard boiled eggs at the store or boil them at home. To hard boil eggs at home, place the eggs into a large pot. Submerge the eggs with water and place the pot on the stove over high heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, put the lid on the pot and turn off the heat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop cooking. Once cool enough to handle, peel and continue with the recipe.
  • Dressing: Use your favorite kind of store bought or homemade dressing (creamy like the one shown or a vinaigrette).
