Method
 

  1. Choose 2 to 3 sides that balance the cobb salad plate; combine fresh or crunchy with starchy and vegetable options, and add a sauce or dip if desired.
  2. Start preparing the sides that take longest to cook or roast first to coordinate timing, finishing with quick-prep or no-cook sides last.
  3. Serve the salad and selected sides together, plating warm dishes hot and adding any sauces or dips as a final touch.

Notes

Start with a starchy side and add a crunchy vegetable or salad to prevent a heavy or mushy plate.
