Cobb Salmon Salad with Lemon Dressing

Cultural Context

The Cobb salad originated in the 1930s at the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California, created by its owner, Bob Cobb. It was a way to use leftover ingredients and became a classic American dish. The combination of fresh vegetables, proteins, and rich dressing reflects the abundance of California cuisine. Today, variations abound, with many adding different proteins or dressings, making it a versatile choice for health-conscious diners.
