Cobb Salad Recipe

by jughandle May 23, 2019

written by jughandle

The owner of the Brown Derby restaurant, Robert Cobb invented this salad to feed a friend who dropped in one night asking what Robert had to eat.

Accommodating his friend, Mr. Cobb went to the refrigerator and used what was available to make the now famous deconstructed salad.

In Mr. Cobb’s spirit, it is not necessary to hold fast to this Cobb Salad recipe. Mr. Cobb would be fine if you made any substitutions you would like.

Included with the salad recipe is the Brown Derby Cobb French Dressing recipe as an added bonus. – Jughandle

German Potato Salad with Eggs

by jughandle August 25, 2011

written by jughandle

This German Potato Salad with Eggs and hot bacon dressing recipe came from my German family side. Passed down through my mother’s side of the family from Alsace Lorraine. I know it is at least 150 years old, but it could be older. Keep in mind that when my Grandfather made this dish, there were no measurements used, only experienced eye-balling. The amounts are my estimates/adjustments over the years. Feel free to modify whatever doesn’t work for you. – jughandle

My grandfather used the bacon dressing for this dish in several recipes. He made wilted spinach with hot bacon dressing, and “spring tonic” buckwheat pancakes with dandelion greens and hot bacon dressing. It always tasted different, but great.

German Potato Salad with Eggs and Hot Bacon Dressing

This recipe has been in my family for over 150 years. It was brought to this country by my great grandparents and taught to me by my grandfather Al Steible.

Jughandle’s Modified Caesar Salad

by jughandle August 4, 2011

written by jughandle

This post is a recipe for my “Jughandle’s Modified Caesar Salad” that I think you’re going to like. The modification is a substitution of limes for lemons and I use a tablespoon of mayo instead of a raw egg for the emulsifying element of the dish. Let me know what you think.

Jughandle

Jughandle's Modified Caesar Salad

Jughandle's Caesar Salad substitute lime for lemons for an extra tang. The raw egg used in the original as an emulsifying agent is replaced by a dollop of mayo for safety.

Ingredients

For The Salad:

10 cup (470 g) Romaine Lettuce about 3 small heads torn into bite sized pieces
2 oz (56.7 g) Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese grated
black pepper in a grinder

For The Dressing:

1/3 cup (72 g) olive oil
1/4 cup (60.5 g) lime juice or the juice of 2-3 limes more if needed
1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) Tabasco sauce
1 Tbsp (1 Tbsp) mayonnaise
1 tsp (1 tsp) anchovy paste or 2 anchovy fillets
1 clove (1 clove) garlic pressed
Kosher salt As needed
1 (1 ) lime cut into half

For The Croutons

4 pc (4 pc) white bread stale bread is best cut into cubes for croutons
1/4 cup (54 g) Olive oil
1 clove (1 clove) garlic pressed

Instructions

For The Salad:

Clean and dry the lettuce. Retain 4-8 whole leaves to use in the individual serving bowls.

For The Croutons:

in a small bowl pour 1/4 cup of olive oil and press in 1 clove of garlic.
Cut the bread or baguette into 1/2 inch cubes. Put the cubes in a bowl and drizzle the olive oil and garlic mixture over the cubes. Toss to coat
spread the coated cubes on a baking sheet and toast on broil setting in the oven until brown. Don't walk away, they will burn.
Make the croutons again if you burned them.
Set them aside

For The Dressing:

In a large wooden salad bowl pour 1/2 of Olive oil in the bottom. Drop in the worcestershire sauce, Tabasco Sauce and 2 oz of lime juice.
mix briskly with a whisk.
At the edge of the oil, put the dab of mayo, next to it the pressed garlic and anchovy paste or fillet.
Take 1/2 of the lime you cut and using it as a mixer or muddling tool, mix the solid ingredients into the liquids. Press the open face of the lime against the mayo, garlic and anchovy rubbing them on to the bottom of the bowl while mixing with the liquid.
When you've done all the mixing you can, squeeze the lime into the mixture, add a pinch of salt and finish blending with your whisk.
Take one of the Romaine leaves and dip into the dressing and taste. If it tastes too oily add more lime. If it needs salt add some and taste again.

Assemble The Salad:

When the dressing tastes right, add the torn romaine, the croutons and 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat thoroughly.
Either at the table or in the kitchen, divide the retained whole romaine leaves among the individual serving bowls. Place a serving of salad on each and sprinkle a little more parmesan on them.
When the guests get their bowl, ask them if they would like black pepper on the salad and either grind the pepper mill for them or pass the mill so they can do their own.

Notes

Note: This salad could be a meal unto itself by including bread or a warm side. A baked potato with all the fixings comes to mind. If that is the case you might want to double the serving size to update the ingredient amounts.

The mayonnaise in the dressing takes the place of the original raw egg. I felt it was just as good of an emulsifying agent and much safer.

Recipe – Chopped Vegetable Salad

by jughandle July 16, 2011

written by jughandle

I stole this recipe directly from David Lebovitz’s blog. Please visit his site for great insight to living and eating in France.

Chopped Vegetable Salad with Lemon-Garlic Dressing
Two servings
I guess I’m more French than I thought because I’m not a fan of very hard vegetables raw, like broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans. So if I use them, I blanch or steam the vegetables lightly, to make them a bit more palatable.
For the dressing:

2 cloves garlic, peeled and grated or minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup (60ml) olive or grape seed oil, or another favorite oil

For the salad:

6 cups (700g) mixed chopped vegetables and other additions, such as:

-Crumbled bacon
-Diced avocado
-Cubed grilled chicken
-Batons of baked tofu
-Crumbled feta, goat, or blue cheese
-Shredded romaine, radicchio, or gem lettuce
-Sliced or quartered radishes
-Grated or julienne-cut carrots
-Shredded red cabbage
-Minced parsley or chives
_Lightly steamed or blanched broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, or asparagus
-Diced hard-cooked eggs
-Pumpkin seeds
-Quartered cherry tomatoes
1. In a large salad bowl, mix together the garlic, lemon juice, salt, and mustard with a fork

2. Add the olive oil and stir with the fork until the dressing is well mixed. (I don’t emulsify the dressing as I feel it gets too heavy and thick.)

3. Add the salad ingredients and toss well.
