I love salads in the summer. They're so refreshing when it's hot out, and boy, has it been hot out! This recipe for the Cobb Salad from the Hollywood Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios is based on the recipe created by the owner of the original Brown Derby in California, Robert Cobb. It's absolutely delicious!
