Sam recommends dressing each ingredient separately before arranging them together on a platter to ensure that the entire salad is perfectly seasoned.

Forkability indeed.
Personally I'd use half that amount of chicken. I'd also toss a bunch of sliced red onion in.
1986 called………they want their NEWS anchor back !…………seriously she seems very Cool !
Non sticks are an abomination! Toxic!
Most American thing ever. Lets shove a bunch of meat with a few vegetables and call it a salad.
I would've 100% sliced the bacon while still slabbed…
Why wouldn't you put the fat side of the chicken into the deepest part of the oven?
I live for Sam, I want to be her friend
Beautiful presentation and solid teaching. I’m sure it is delicious. Thank you. 😊
I just made a Cobb yesterday and needed this video. I wish I thought about the arugula.
I’m glad ATK allowed her to bring back a smidge of goofiness with the ‘take out your frustrations’ thing. 😊 Don’t be too normal. Weird is good!

THE HEALTH FAD HAS HIT THE TEST KITCHEN. UNPRECEDENTED TIIIIIIMS
IMO a cobb salad should not include onion
I'm going to need this in a version for 1 or 2, because this is WAY too much food for me and my neighbour, and it looks too good not to try.
Sam is my favorite.
I love Cobb salad
I never really understood why the toppings are arranged in rows. It makes extra work to mix it all in yourself when whatever it's being served on is not good for mixing
Thank you👍
What a looker
Um…target internal temp for chicken should be 165 for food safety reason, NOT 160.
This looks absolutely delicious! I'm definitely making this.
thanks. i"ll meal prep this for work lunch. sam is refreshing like an iced tea on a hot day
I'm not a fan of vinaigrette but I'd take half or all of the olive oil and use the oil from the bacon instead. I'd like to know where you get avocado that size. What I can find locally is a quarter to a third smaller.
I throw my eggs in the air fryer for 3 min
I’ve always wanted to make a Cobb salad!❤
thank you… can't wait to try it out
A lot of really good ideas on ATK. Cutting 8 slices of bacon with kitchen shears is not one of them.
A mid Cobb salad? How about a fried shiitake mushroom salad with mixed greens.
mother and child reunion, chicken and eggs side by side..
Add Louis salads, those are good too.
Looks delicious 😋 ❤❤
FYI: 4 TABLESPOONS equal 1/4 cup
Yummy 😋
