Open in Pepper →The rule of a Cobb is proportion: neat rows of chicken, bacon, egg, avocado, cheese, and tomato so every forkful lands a little of everything.
Cooks on Pepper adapt it endlessly — Fall Harvest with apples and pecans, Southwest with black beans and corn, or tofu when they want it plant-forward.
It's the salad that eats like a meal — high protein, hits every texture, and holds up in the fridge for lunch tomorrow.
Rows, not tossed
The classic Cobb is composed in strips — toss right before eating so every bite has everything.
Egg quality matters
Jammy 7-minute eggs beat hard-boiled if you're going to be the one plating it.
Bacon crispy, then chopped
Chop after it cools — hot bacon shatters.
Dressing on the side
Cobb salads sit heavy under too much dressing — let people add their own.
