Cobb Salad Skewers

Hey Food Finders! 

I LOVE Cobb Salad...the way the flavors of bacon, egg, chicken, avocado, and creamy blue cheese dressing all combine together for a taste extravaganza! It’s pure heaven if you ask me. We all know that salads sound healthy, but a loaded Cobb salad is not usually one of the good-guys when it comes to saturated fat and calories. Until NOW!

These Cobb Salad Skewers have all of the ingredients listed above but use healthier versions of the ingredients and the skewers make portion control a cinch!  They are so colorful and fun to put together AND to eat! You will not miss the regular restaurant offering of this dish at all once you try this homemade version!  These are also perfect for entertaining! Serve during a light brunch, lunch, or as an adorable appetizer!

3 oz. chicken breast, cooked & cubed

Recipe:

Using 5 skewers, assemble the salad by pushing the sharp end of the skewer through one piece of each of the following: lettuce, chicken, red onion, cherry tomato, bacon, avocado, hard boiled egg, and another cube of chicken. Assemble all skewers in this way.

To make the dressing, mix the Greek yogurt, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, blue cheese crumbles and spices together in a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the blue cheese crumbles into the dressing until it’s all blended to the consistency you like. Drizzle over the skewers.
