Cobb Pasta Salad

If you love a Cobb salad like I do, but can’t make it in advance when you’re headed to a picnic or barbecue, substitute pasta for the lettuce. This simple and easy salad will be a hit at every event you go to. As for the history of the Cobb salad, There are many stories recount how the salad was invented. One of which is that it came about in 1938 at the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, where it became a signature dish. It is named after the restaurant's owner, Robert Howard Cobb. The legend is that Cobb was mixed together leftovers the chef found in the kitchen, along with some bacon cooked by the line cook, and tossed it with their French dressing for theater owner Sid Grauman (Grauman’s Chinese Theatre!). It was chopped fine, because Grauman had just had dental work done and could not chew well. I’m sure Sid would approve of this popular versions of his favorite salad!!
