cobb salad还是起源于美国加州的呢,从一开始就深受好莱坞明星们的宠爱。
Cobb salad is the quintessential American salad, first pulled together on a whim by Robert Cobb of the former Los Angeles landmark Brown Derby restaurant when he needed to feed Sid Grauman late one night (1937). It was such a hit, movie stars started requesting "Cobb's salad", and soon its popularity spread. The original Brown Derby restaurant on Wilshire Blvd. was eventually torn down in the 80s, like so many downtown LA landmarks - Perinos, the Ambassador Hotel - leaving a swath of strip malls in their place. I fondly remember the Brown Derby. It was in the shape of huge brown hat (you couldn't miss it) and within a few blocks of where we lived when I was a kid. Ah well, big brown hat gone, but thank goodness the salad remains, a legacy of the Golden Era of Hollywood.
然后看看这种看上去不是那么诱人,但是又足以让我好奇的沙拉是有什么原料做成的吧

Cobb Salad Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 head of romaine 长叶莴苣
1/2 head of Boston lettuce 波士顿莴苣(晕,这有什么不同)
1 small bunch of frisée (curly endive)菊莴苣(更晕!)
1/2 bunch of watercress, coarse stems discarded
(去除粗茎秆后的水田芥)
All lettuces should be rinsed, spun or patted dry, and coarsely chopped
6 slices of bacon(哈哈,荤菜登场,培根)
2 ripe avocados, seed removed, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
(去籽儿削皮儿切成片儿的鳄梨)
1 whole skinless boneless chicken breast (about 3/4 pound total), halved, cooked, and diced
(剔骨去皮后的鸡胸脯肉)
1 tomato, seeded and chopped fine(终于有一个大众的菜了)
2 hard-boiled large eggs, separated, the yolk finely chopped and the white finely chopped(这个比较出乎我的意料,煮鸡蛋?!!)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives(少不了香葱)
辅料啦
1/3 cup red-wine vinegar(红葡萄酒醋?什么东东?)
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard(什么芥末啊)
1-2 teaspoons sugar糖
Salt and pepper盐和胡椒粉
2/3 cup olive oil健康的橄榄油
1/2 cup finely grated Roquefort 磨好的羊乳干酪
做法,想起来应该很简单,看看究竟怎么做吧
Method
1 In a large salad bowl, toss together well the various lettuces and watercress.
在沙拉碗里先放入的是各种莴苣和水田芥,也就是绿色的菜先丢进去,估计当陪衬了。
2 Cook the bacon in a skillet on medium heat until crisp on both sides. Remove from skillet and lay out on paper towels to absorb the excess fat. Allow the bacon to cool. Crumble the bacon and set aside
用小锅煎培根,直到两面都酥脆了,锅中取出,吸去多余的油脂,
待肉凉后弄碎,放在一边。
3 Compose the salad. Arrange the chicken, the bacon, the tomato, and the avocado decoratively over the greens and garnish the salad with the grated egg and the chives.

然后就可以摆了?这也太简单了吧。培根,鸡肉,西红柿,鳄梨,鸡蛋,香葱按照你觉得顺眼的方式就往前面铺好的绿菜叶子上面码吧
4 In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, the mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a slow stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Stir in the Roquefort. Add sugar to taste, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. Whisk the dressing. Serve separately or toss in with the salad.
哇哦,这里有点小复杂了。把醋,芥末,盐和胡椒粉在一个小碗里混合,慢慢的加入橄榄油,直到出现乳化。一起和干酪混合搅拌,加少许糖。然后把调料浇在摆好的沙拉上就大功告成了!
可以搅拌一下,也可以就像第二张图整整齐齐的。
Cobb Salad的诞生地:加利福尼亚州的Brown Derby.事实上,很多沙拉品尝起来都大同小异,但是Cobb Salad就不同,它是用莴笋,鸡肉,鸡蛋,熏肉,香葱,豆瓣酱,番茄酱和雪梨,还有一些特质的材料做成的Brown Derby 餐厅的主人Cobb和他的中国朋友在家闲来无事做的,然后放在冰箱冻一下,味道更好。现在Cobb Salad都上了各大餐厅。
