Jump to Recipe Add to Prep Sesh Print Recipe

This easy classic cobb salad is perfect for an easy spring or summer dinner!

It also works great when paired with leftovers, and will rock it as a potluck dish idea.

It’s also just as a classic cobb salad should be – full of different and contrasting textures and flavors, like breaded chicken, sweet cherry tomatoes, sharp bell peppers, hard-boiled egg, and salty bacon all layered on top of slightly bitter salad greens.

You could change it up any way you wish and add any old leftover protein or salad topping to it as well.

But it’s that buttermilk blue cheese dressing that I feel like drenching my entire life with.

Because, guys, this dressing.

It. is. the BUSINESS.

The buttermilk blue cheese dressing drizzled on is all you’d want from a salad dressing.

It’s cool and creamy, slightly tangy, and studded with chunks of funky blue cheese.

It’s also super simple to make and will keep for ages in your fridge- up to two straight weeks! Make sure it’s tightly covered and kept towards the back, not stored in the door.

And then proceed to just pour it over everything.

I love this classic cobb salad for lunch over the course of a few days- and that blue chese dressing makes me feel fancy-schmancy, too.

It’s that good.

You work hard. Dinner should be easy.

At Percolate Kitchen, we believe that the “third shift” of getting dinner ready shouldn’t mean reinventing the wheel every evening.

Recipes on our site are broken down into simple, step-by-step processes so you can be flexible with your time- make the meal fresh, prep the ingredients to assemble and cook later, or do a little bit of both.
