The Cobb salad is a typical salad of American gastronomy, if we look for some information on the Internet we can even find the name of an inventor and how famous the dish was during a time in Hollywood. The special thing about the famous Cobb salad is that it is served in an orderly manner and is very showy for its color and, above all, for its flavor.

Ingredients to make Cobb Salad:

- 1 unit of Avocado
- 1 unit of Tomato

How to make Cobb Salad:
We gather all the ingredients to make the Cobb Salad. The first step is to put the egg to cook in abundant boiling water. Egg cooking time is 10 minutes. After that time we put it in cold water to make it easier to peel it.
Tip: You can add a little vinegar to the water during cooking to make it much easier to peel the egg once it’s done. On the other hand, we wash the lettuce or salad mix that we like the most and place it as a bed in a salad bowl. Cut the tomato into slices and place it in an orderly manner as indicated in the image.
Peel the avocado, remove the central part and cut it into cubes. We place it in the salad bowl next to the tomato in an orderly manner.
Sauté the grilled chicken breast and add a little salt and ground black pepper. We have cut the breast into cubes but it can also be cut into strips. On the other hand, sauté the bacon also cut into cubes, until it is golden and a little crispy. Peel the egg, cut it into slices and add it to the salad bowl also in an orderly manner.
We place all the ingredients as seen in the image and dress the Cobb salad with a little salt, vinegar and olive oil and to complete an American-style evening, serve the chicken salad as a companion to a southern-style fried chicken.
