Beverly Hills Hotel McCarthy Salad Recipe

If you know me, you know I love a good salad, and during my recent stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel, I pretty much lived on their famous McCarthy Salad. Since coming home, I’ve been missing it, so I tracked down the recipe to make it myself  and share with you! 

This salad has been around for decades and was named after Neil McCarthy, a racehorse owner who used to frequent the hotel. It became a go-to dish at the Polo Lounge, where celebrities and regulars would order it on repeat. It’s easy to see why. It’s fresh and hearty, but still feels light and satisfying.

It’s the kind of salad you’ll want to eat when the weather’s warm and you want something that feels a little fancy without being fussy. It has chopped greens, roasted chicken, bacon, beets, egg, and cheese, all tossed with a really simple vinaigrette. It’s great for dinner, brunch, or meal prepping for the week ahead.

One of the best parts is how easy it is to make it your own. You can swap ingredients or prep it all ahead and toss it together when you’re ready. If you’re craving something fresh but still filling, or you just want a little taste of Beverly Hills without leaving your kitchen, this is a great recipe to try! I’ve added the full recipe below if you want to make it yourself. Don’t skip the dressing. It’s the best part!

Here is all of the supplies I used to make this salad:
