Low Carb Cobb Salad. I found this somewhere on the internet-a way to remember the components of Cobb Salad. Use the mnemonic EAT COBB: Egg, Avocado, Tomato, Chicken, Onion, Bacon, Bleu Cheese. Low carb Cobb salad is a very simple and elegant salad to serve as a lunch or a main dinner entrée. I served this in the restaurant to rave reviews.
There are a lot of arrangements so just pick your favorite. The ideal is to have a different flavor or combination of flavors with each bite of salad. I served mine with Caesar Dressing (traditional) and you can serve it with your own favorite. If you are inclined to Caesar then my recipe is here: Caesar Salad Dressing and Briannas Asiago Caesar Salad Dressing makes what I call the best prepared Caesar dressing. As you can see from the second picture it can also be served with steak. My leftover steak was about 3 oz. of rare ribeye.
I have eaten many a low carb cobb salad in my day and I have traveled many times between Portland & Seattle. There is a little joint off the I-5 in the middle of nowhere called Spiffy’s that has the best Cobb Salad (besides my own) that I have ever had so…if you are every up this way, stop in and try one…with their Caesar dressing- and it is the one I served in my restaurant.

- Pile as much lettuce as you can get on the plate-at least 2 C and more it wanted..
- Arrange your ingredients artfully around the edge of the salad then drizzle dressing all over everything. For company, a nice garnish might be a couple of cheese crisps tucked in at both ends along with a couple wedges of lemon.

- Since I cannot know or account for the salad dressing you will be using the nutritionals are for the ingredients listed.
- You may certainly use any lettuce you like but my favorite for this is Spring Mix with a little Romaine mixed in for crunch.
- Additional lowcarb ingredients to your Cobb Salad might be black olives, bay shrimp, ham, mung bean sprouts, shredded cheddar cheese, and even strawberries. I have given the traditional recipe but this is going to be YOUR salad so add whatever YOU want.
- This salad is not so much about the lettuce but about the other tastes and ingredients.
