Salmon Cobb Salad

Cultural Context

The Cobb Salad originated in the 1930s at the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California. It was created by the restaurant's owner, Robert Cobb, as a late-night meal using leftover ingredients. The salad has since become a staple in American cuisine, celebrated for its vibrant colors and variety of flavors. Modern variations often include different proteins like grilled chicken or shrimp, and the addition of seasonal vegetables, making it a versatile dish enjoyed across the globe.
