This salad is one of the most popular salads among Americans. The history of its origin is as follows. It was in California, or rather, in Hollywood in 1937. The owner of one of the famous restaurants in those places, Bob Cobb, was very hungry and went into the kitchen to see what to eat. The first thing he found in the refrigerator, he cut, poured dressing and shared such a dinner with his friend Sid Grauman, a Hollywood impresario. Sid liked the improvisation salad and the next day he ordered this dish for dinner. After that, Cobb salad was included in the restaurant menu. Since then, this salad has been widely known. There is even an assertion that he is the quintessence of American cuisine.

Salad is usually served on a platter or in portions, laying it out in strips.
