COBB SALAD WITH BROWN DERBY DRESSING
I was served this salad on my honeymoon. The ingredients are all minced very fine, then they are tossed with the dressing at the last minute. I love it. It's perfect as a light lunch or dinner all by itself on a very hot summer day.

BROWN DERBY FRENCH DRESSING
Fast and easy to make from ingredients you already have in the house. Many dinner guests ask me for this recipe. The fresh garlic really makes this. Add less or more to your taste. I use a garlic press so it's fairly effortless. Please note that this is a more traditional French dressing and not the American French dressing. I have also used this to marinate chicken with great results.

BROWN DERBY OLD FASHIONED FRENCH DRESSING
"From the Brown Derby Cookbook..." is where the newspaper said it came from. I haven't tried this yet, but I intend to. Maybe one of the more experienced Chef's here can explain to me why a mixture of oils instead of just one oil is beneficial. I was looking for a Cobb Salad Dressing recipe when I found this one. The paper said Brown Derby used this dressing on their Cobb Salad. I'm interested to try it because I'm always looking for good homemade salad dressings. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's a good one!!!
