Serve an amazing Cobb Salad Board for an easy lunch or dinner with bacon, eggs, sliced fresh veggies, blue cheese, and our favorite homemade vinaigrette dressing! It’s a great way for everyone to build their own salad with the ingredients that they love.

You can also add a variety of dressings, but a vinaigrette is the classic dressing for a Cobb salad. I hope you love this homemade dressing recipe as much as I do!

Perfect Presentation Platters

You can serve this Cobb Salad Board on just about anything, from a platter to a tray to a wooden food board. I used this MacKenzie-Childs checkered party tray!

Wooden Serving Board: For other tray options, this White Reclaimed Wood Pizza Board is also a favorite of mine! It’s a bit of a splurge from Potter Barn, so you may also love this adorable $15 version from Walmart! I also use this Oversized Circular Serving Board all the time, which is from Target at a great price. There is also a similar Lazy Susan version that is so convenient.

Salad Plates: If you love the MacKenzie-Child’s look you could go with these checkered plates, which also come in pink or in a paper plate version! For adorable and affordable serving plates, I am obsessed with this beautiful coordinating set from Target for a great price! JC Penney also has these stunning floral plates that I think you’ll love!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep This Cobb Salad Board Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can certainly grill the chicken and cook the bacon, then chop and store in the fridge. I also make the salad dressing a day or two before (just shake before serving.) You can also wash and cut the onions and tomatoes and store in the refrigerator for about a day in advance. I’d recommended waiting to prep the avocados, deviled eggs, and lettuce so they stay fresh.

Storing Leftovers

This Cobb Salad Board makes amazing leftovers for lunch or dinner! Simply store in Tupperware containers (Ziploc bags also work) and refrigerate, where it should stay fresh for about 3 days.

Enjoy!

I know that hosting larger groups can feel intimidating, so I hope this Cobb Salad Board helps you feel confident and assured when feeding a large crowd!
