7-Layer Cobb Salad Dip
For the Ranch Base:
-
1 cup sour cream
-
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
-
1 (1 oz.) package ranch seasoning mix
For the Salad Layers:
-
1 cup cooked chicken breast, finely diced
-
1 cup romaine lettuce, finely chopped
-
3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
-
3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
-
3 green onions, thinly sliced
-
1 cup grilled corn kernels (or charred/canned corn, drained)
-
6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
-
¾ cup bleu cheese crumbles
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix until smooth and creamy.
-
Spread this ranch mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, shallow serving dish, or rectangular tray.
-
Layer ingredients in order, sprinkling each evenly over the previous layer:
Diced chicken → romaine lettuce → diced tomatoes → chopped eggs → green onions → corn → chopped bacon → bleu cheese crumbles. -
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors blend.
-
Serve with sturdy dippers: tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, or endive leaves for a lower-carb option.
📝 Tips & Variations
-
Swap grilled corn for canned corn (well-drained) or roasted corn.
-
Substitute turkey bacon or omit bacon for a lighter version.
-
For a non-blue cheese option, use shredded cheddar or feta.
-
Add avocado as a fresh garnish just before serving (to prevent browning).
-
Make ahead: Prepare ranch base and chop ingredients ahead, but assemble within 2–3 hours of serving to keep lettuce crisp.
