Four Delicious High Protein Summer Salads That Can Be Meal Prepped Ahead!

The Cobb salad originated in the 1930s at the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California. It was created by the restaurant's owner, Bob Cobb, as a late-night meal for himself and his friends. This salad is a hearty mix of protein-rich ingredients, making it a popular choice for lunch or dinner. The 'lettuce-free' version caters to those looking for a low-carb alternative, maintaining the classic flavors while eliminating the greens. Today, Cobb salad variations can be found in restaurants and homes across the globe, often featuring unique twists based on personal preferences.
