The Cobb Salad Board Get Two Thumbs Up

I love springtime dinners! Gathering everyone together around the dinner table to enjoy a light, fresh DIY meal puts everyone in a creative (and hungry!) mood. This Cobb Salad Board is one of our absolute favorites and actually turned our kids into salad lovers! It has truly opened their eyes and palates to the amazingness of making a meal out of a salad. We each build our salad just the way we like it and we encourage everyone to try something new each time.

Cobb Salad Board by The BakerMama

The Cobb Salad (for a little bit of food history!) got its name from Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant owner Robert Howard Cobb in the 1930s. Almost a hundred years later and we’re still chowing down on the same recipe! It’s that good! You’ll see it offered with a variety of salad greens, but the toppings rarely vary from the original:

  • tomato
  • bacon
  • grilled, roasted or pan-seared chicken
  • hard-boiled egg
  • avocado
  • cheese

Your table, your rules! We offer a couple different dressings, a variety of cheeses, fresh fruit, and bread or croutons, but you do you! That’s the best part of a salad board. Flexibility and fun!

Here’s another one of our salad boards that goes beyond the classic ingredients of a Cobb Salad with nuts, broccoli, mini pepperoni and more…

Quickie: Pan-Seared Chicken

Pan-Searing chicken for your Cobb Salad Board is a breeze. First, generously salt and pepper tops of some chicken tenderloins before transferring them, seasoned side down, to a medium-heated skillet that’s been drizzled with a little olive oil. Season the other sides of the tenderloins with salt and pepper while the first sides sear. Then, sear for about 3 minutes or until nicely browned before flipping and searing for another 3 minutes on the other side. Cover the pan with a lid and let continue to cook for another 2 minutes to add steam/moisture and ensure they’re cooked all the way through without drying out. That’s it!

Favorite 5-Minute Lunch Salad

One Board, So Many Options!

It should go without saying that the Cobb Salad Board is also super easy. Which is the only way I do mid-week meals around here. Easy and crowd-pleasing! I like to build this salad on a lipped board similar to this one. I’ve also used my 20″ round wood board and it works (and looks) great!

Building the board is a snap! First, place the lettuce mix down the middle of the board. Next, put the shredded cheese and blue cheese crumbles in small serving bowls and place the bowls in the corners of the board. Then fill small pouring jars with the blue cheese and ranch dressing and place them on the board. Finally, arrange the sliced hard boiled eggs, diced red onions, chopped grilled chicken, cherry tomato halves, chopped bacon and diced avocado around the lettuce mix on the board.

Serve and enjoy! That’s all there is to it, friends! So good, right?

Ingredients:

4 ready-to-bake pie crusts
3 (20 oz) cans cherry pie filling
1 (20 oz) can blueberry pie filling
1 egg
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp sparkling sugar

Instructions:

1. Let the pie crusts set out at room temperature for 10 min before using.
2. Spray a 12” x 17” rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. Using 3 of the pie crusts, fill the baking sheet completely with the dough. Cut the dough as necessary to cover the sheet pan.
4. Trim the dough even with the edge of the sheet pan and flute the edges.
5. Cut the excess dough into 12 stars using a mini star shaped cookie cutter.
6. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the remaining pie crust into Β½-inch wide strips.
7. Use one of the long strips to create a small rectangle barrier in the top left corner of the sheet pan.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the stars and stripes of dough.
9. Fill the large area completely with cherry pie filling.
10. Fill the small rectangle with blueberry pie filling.
11. Create 5 stripes on top of the cherry pie filling with the long strips of dough.
12. Arrange the stars on top of the blueberry pie filling.
13. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the remaining egg wash.
14. Sprinkle the stars and stripes with sparkling sugar.
15. Place the prepared pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill before baking.
16. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450Β°F.
17. Bake the pie for about 25 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling. If the edges of the pie start to brown before the stars and stripes, cover the edges with foil and continue baking until the crusts on top of the pie are golden brown.
18. Let the pie set for about 10 minutes before slicing into and serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
