Salads are supposed to be healthy, right? Well, it really depends on what kind of salad you make. A Cobb salad loaded with bacon and cheese doesn’t necessarily fit into the wellness category. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a delicious, multi-faceted meal. After all, it contains very flavorful and popular ingredients. However, if you decide to load up on a classic Cobb salad, it’s worth considering potato chips as a topping instead of croutons.
Think about each ingredient in a typical Cobb salad. Bacon, blue cheese, eggs, avocados, and tomatoes all sit next to spuds on various occasions in the culinary world. And when you add fried stuff, including spud slices, it’s hard to resist. Toss the Cobb salad with the dressing, then crush the salt and pepper potato chips on top. This is the best way to keep the chips from getting too sticky during the eating process and instead form a binder with the rest of the salad ingredients.
