Cobb salad is one of my favorite meals. I think it’s the bacon, blue cheese and avocado that really get me. I like all the other salad stuff involved but it is this trinity that elevates the dish to sublime. If you want something more substantial than a salad, or simply like sandwiches as I do, try layering the components onto a freshly baked and toasted kaiser roll. A little mayo is all that’s needed for dressing.
Cobb Salad Sandwich
Split and lightly toast a fresh roll. Kaiser is a fav around here, ciabatta is good too.
Spread both halves with a little mayo.
Then add layers of:
lettuce (bib is my first choice)
sliced chicken or turkey
tomatoes
avocado slices
crisp bacon
crumbled blue cheese
Several grinds of black pepper
A true Cobb salad includes hard boiled eggs so add a few slices if you can fit them onto the stack.
In truth, all the ingredients are essential here. The tomatoes and lettuce are just as important as the bacon and blue cheese. As in so many classic dishes it is the combination of flavors and textures that make it special. Hope you give this one a try.
Can I please order one of these for my lunch today?
oh my this sounds delicious..i am going to jot down the items I need from the store so I can make this soon!

You bet, Libby. I’ll wrap one up and bring it right over.
Hi Susan, thanks so much for stopping by.
Great idea! I’ve been trying to get more avocado in my diet.
What a great idea! Yor photo is lovely as well.
I didn’t think I liked Cobb Salad. Probably it’s the mayo. Without that this sandwich sounds fabulous! It looks even better.
Oh Cathy – this look perfect. I love the chunks of cheese and bacon….MMMMMM good!
Cathy, you never cease to amaze me with your mouthwatering recipes.
(And PHOTOS!!!)
On my trip to town today I’m picking up the missing ingredients and it will be on the menu as soon as the avocado ripens.
Thank you for all the inspiration you provide. xo~m.
P.S. I don’t know WHY in the world I even sketch out a menu for the week, it always gets derailed after I visit your blog. I should come here FIRST! ((hugs))
Oh seriously, this looks like the best sandwich ever! Wow.
Cathy, it looks delicious!! That’s a go-to recipe anytime of the year!
I can’t wait to give this one a try!! I love, love, love kaiser rolls for sandwiches (childhood thing – very comfort-food-like for me). Never occurred to me to put one of my favorite salads inside bread! Genius!!
Looks out of this world Cathy!
Yummmmm…..
Oh this sounds wonderful! Bet it would be amazing with some sweet potato fries too! More items added to my grocery list! ♥
I love cobb salad but do you think I would have ever thought to make a sandwich out of the ingredients? No! What a terrific idea.
Oh my, that looks amazing. LOVE it!!
Found you on tastespotting…great pic!
That looks so fresh and delicious. Why is it when I’m shopping for groceries I have sandwich ingredients like that pop into my head? I can’t do anything with making a list, and if I make a list at work, I have to staple it around my purse strap so I don’t forget it! But for one of your recipes Cathy, I will do it!!!
oh what a great idea!!! looks terrific too~
Hi Cathy,
That looks scrumptious! I didn’t know what a cobb sandwich was so I had to read your entry and looks like I will be trying it (you always have delicious and awesome recipes). My only dilemma is trying to find the right avocado – sometimes they are too soft or too hard. Thanks for sharing another wonderful recipe!
Doesn’t that look delish!
m ^..^
This looks great. I’m a sandwich lover – and this one is going in the files!
Looks like a delicious combo, Cathy!
Wow Cathy, this looks so delicious. Can I add some bacon to it?
Cheers,
elra
Your sammie looks very good and I love going on the cheese factory tour, I have been going ever since I was a little girl. It has changed a lot since then but it is till great.
LOVE it! Love it, love it, love it! Oh, this is just an outstanding sandwich, Cathy! I totally agree about the trinity. Truly, this sammie just shouts “Delicious!” YUM!
Oh oh oh…it’s late, but I could most certainly go for one of those babies!
Great photo~
I’d devour this in an instant, especially with that bacon thrown in :).
