[Earl Boebert]

According to George Geary's "L.A.'s Legendary Restaurants," (highly recommended) the ingredients in the Hollywood Brown Derby Cobb Salad were iceberg and romaine lettuce, chicory, tomatoes, chicken breast, bacon, avocado, hard boiled eggs, chopped chives, and crumbled Roquefort cheese, arranged in strips on a plate and then tossed by the waiter at tableside.

The salad was dressed with Brown Derby French Dressing, reconstructed by Geary (almost all the recipes in the book are reconstructions) as:

3/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup water

1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Dijon mustard

3/4 tsp salt

1 clove garlic

1 cup olive oil and 1 cup canola oil

Puree everything but the oil in a blender, then drizzle in the oils to emulsify.

I've made it and it's really good.

Cheers,

Earl
