Cobb Salad in a Jar with Buttermilk Ranch
Description
The salad is assembled in quart-size mason jars beginning with the buttermilk ranch dressing made by whisking together mayonnaise, buttermilk, and seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and basil. Layers of diced grilled or leftover rotisserie chicken, quartered grape tomatoes, chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled gorgonzola cheese, cooked and chopped bacon, chopped romaine lettuce, diced avocado, and scallions follow. The layering helps keep ingredients from getting soggy before eating. Adding avocado the day of serving preserves its texture and color. This individual portion salad offers a mix of crunchy, creamy, and savory elements balanced with the ranch’s tangy profile.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise light
- 2 Bacon center-cut strips
- 1/4 cup buttermilk 1% fat
- 10 grape tomatoes (quartered)
- 1/4 cup scallion fresh, chopped
- 2 ounces avocado 1/2 small, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 egg diced, large, hard-boiled
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 ounces chicken breast diced, or leftover rotisserie chicken, grilled
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 ounce gorgonzola 1 generous tablespoon, or blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/8 teaspoon parsley dried
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon basil dried
- black pepper fresh
Instructions
- Whisk all dressing ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Set aside
- Cook the bacon according to package directions. Once cooked, place strips on a paper towel lined plate and allow to cool. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes, avocado, eggs, and chicken. Once cool, chop the bacon.
- In each quart size mason jar, divide all ingredients evenly. Layer the dressing, chicken, tomato, eggs, cheese, bacon and top with chopped romaine and avocado (I suggest adding avocado the day you plan to eat it).
Notes
- Use wide-mouth mason jars for easier layering and eating directly from the jar.
