The Cobb salad is the king of entrée salads — each ingredient arranged in beautiful rows so you can see exactly what you're getting: grilled chicken, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, hard-boiled eggs, ripe tomatoes, and tangy blue cheese.

The presentation matters — arrange each topping in a neat row across the chopped greens.

Dress with a simple red wine vinaigrette and toss at the table.
