This mess is ours
Our version of a Cobb Salad is bursting with fresh from the garden tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and leafy greens with a few store-bought elements like salty mixed nuts for good measure and lots of flavor.
Cobb salads are one of those types of recipes where the ingredients can change and morph depending on the season and what the cook has on hand.
We used a mix of Romaine, Breen, and Red Leaf lettuces with a few handfuls of basil and shredded Lacinato kale for the base of leafy greens that this recipe for Cobb salad sits upon.
We seem to be overwhelmed with garden fresh tomatoes lately, but we aren't complaining! This salad contains a mix of Purple Cherokee heirloom tomatoes, Black Beauty tomatoes, and colorful cherry tomatoes.
Our favorite type of cucumbers for any salad would have to be Persian Cucumbers. They are easy to grow in the garden which is great, but also readily available at most grocery stores.
You can use any combination of peppers hot, mild, or sweet that you prefer.Peppers aren't a standard ingredient in Cobb salad, they are just one we had on hand and thought would be delicious.
Mixed Nuts - Cocktail nuts and roasted salted peanuts both work great. Protein - I chose bacon and grilled chicken because they are our favorites. Eggs - I chose bacon and grilled chicken because they are our favorites.
