Because I actually had one this time. And I’m really going to do it…let the world know that the Cobb salad from the downtown Courthouse Café’s is definitely a contender in Wilmaville’s Salad Quest 08.
I love this salad and I love the Courthouse Café’s execution of this salad. Enough that I am jealous that my husband, who works downtown, gets to eat at this restaurant on a fairly regular basis. In fact, I might actually go to an extra effort to make his lunches so he won’t get to eat there without me. Every time I go there, I order the Cobb. I’ve introduced a colleague to the Courthouse Café and I think he goes without telling me.
My husband brought me the Cobb salad earlier this week when I volunteered at the kids’ swim meet (so keep in mind this was take out…) and it had to sit in his work refrigerator for a couple hours. It still looked and tasted yummy. This salad is so fresh when it is made that, obviously, it can be carted halfway across Wilmington, eaten several hours after being made and still taste good.
The dressing (they provided two containers, but I only used one) is an excellent balsamic vinaigrette that does not overwhelm the fresh ingredients. The meats are fresh and don’t have that overly processed taste.
And even our one-year old enjoyed the bits and pieces of the salad. (Not too crazy about the blue cheese she bit into while her curious hands picked through the goodies.)
I highly recommend this salad—in the restaurant and as take-out.
