Like so many of our classic salads, this one comes from 1920s California. To seed the tomatoes, just cut them in half horizontally, then squeeze out and discard the seeds. We prefer Hass avocados for this recipe, and not just because of their Californian origins but because they have a buttery taste and velvety texture which compliments the crisp components of the salad. Bob Cobb, of the famed Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, is said to have created the salad out of leftovers in the refrigerator. The dressing, named to honor the actor George Arliss and a play he starred in, The Green Goddess, hails from San Francisco’s Palace Hotel.
