BOB COBB SALAD

By Silvermama

This is the original salad created by Robert Cobb in 1937 and was served at the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant. You can make your own dressing or use bottled; but the Brown Derby dressing included with the recipe is excellent. Use Feta cheese if you do not like the flavor of Blue cheese.
