Here we have the famous Cobb Salad! It's not really known where this particular salad originated, but it generally seems to be attributed to The Brown Derby restaurant in the late 1920's or 1930's. It's a 90 year old salad and ... it's great for a low carb way of life!

It's got a wide mixture of salad greens, vegetables and healthy fats from a variety of ingredients. In fact, the odd assortment of ingredients, while building a truly healthy and wonderful combination of fats and nutrients, is a bit puzzling to me. After having made it and combing through information about the salad, I really have begun to subscribe to the idea that Robert Howard Cobb (the owner of the Brown Derby) was hungry, late one night, and raided his kitchen. He grabbed a little of this ... and a little of that, combining a random assortment of fresh prepared ingredients, tossed them into a bowl and topped it all with salad dressing!

I'm sure he loved it so much ... it became a staple!

One of the great things about this salad is, it's less than 4 carbs, but it's a massive bowl of good foods. Even at induction levels, this still leaves more than 16 carbs for the rest of the day. The "steak and eggs" diet, my eye!

Note: This recipe implies you have a few precooked, chilled, ready-to-go ingredients. Pay close attention to the list of ingredients, as the salad "can" be a bit time consuming, just gathering the stuff!
