Revamp Your Snack Game with This Unconventional Cobb Salad Dip

When it comes to classic recipes, Cobb Salad is right up there with the best of them. But have you ever thought about transforming it into a delicious dip? We sure did, and the result is a game-changer. By ditching the greens and amplifying the flavors with creamy blue cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh herbs, we’ve created a snack that’s both indulgent and irresistible.

The Perfect Blue Cheese for the Job

A tangy blue cheese is essential for this recipe, and we opted for Point Reyes blue after Maytag proved hard to find. The outcome was nothing short of fantastic! If you’re feeling adventurous, feel free to experiment with different types of blue cheese to find your perfect match.

Planning Ahead Made Easy

To make things easier, you can prepare Step 1 up to a day in advance and refrigerate the dip in a covered container. Just before serving, chop the avocado, stir the sour cream mixture, and finish Step 2. Voilà!

A Delicious Dip for Any Occasion

This recipe is perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or tailgating parties. Serve it with celery sticks for a healthier option or indulge in crackers for a more decadent experience.
