This classic Cobb salad is a masterclass in contrasting textures and bold flavours. Crisp iceberg lettuce provides a refreshing base for salty smoked bacon, creamy avocado, and the sharp tang of crumbled Roquefort cheese. By using ripe heirloom tomatoes and fresh spring onions, this vibrant dish achieves a wonderful balance that feels both indulgent and light. It is an excellent choice for a sophisticated weekend lunch or a seasonal starter when you want something impressive yet simple to assemble.
While traditional versions can often feel heavy, this recipe uses a bright yoghurt and lemon dressing to lift the dish. The combination of high-quality ingredients ensures every mouthful is packed with savoury depth. Serve it in a large shallow bowl to showcase the colourful ingredients, finishing with a generous dusting of cracked black pepper for a touch of heat.

How to make My Cobb Salad: Iceberg, Tomato, Avocado, Bacon, and Blue Cheese
Back to contentsIn a large, dry skillet, brown the bacon over moderate heat until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to several layers of paper towels to absorb the fat. Blot the top of the bacon with several layers of paper towels to absorb any additional fat. Set aside.
In a large, shallow bowl, combine the bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, and spring onions. Toss with just enough dressing to lightly and evenly coat the ingredients. Season generously with pepper, and serve.
