These little Cobb Salads on a Stick are all the deliciousness of a loaded cobb salad without the mess or need to sit down to enjoy it. They're almost guaranteed to be the talk of the town at your next potluck or party. They're both inexpensive to make and take next to no effort despite looking super trendy! You use all the components of a good cobb salad: hardboiled eggs, lettuce, meat, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, avocado, and whatever else you might want.
The Recipe
The best part? These perfect little appys are also keto-friendly, which means you don’t have to starve at the next potluck or party you attend! They’ll be enjoyed by everyone – keto-dieters and carb-lovers alike – so no need to double up on the dishes you bring. This one covers it all!
Start by chopping up all your ingredients into bite-sized chunks. Grab some extra-large skewers (you can really make them whatever size you want) and start by sliding on a chunk of cheese, followed by some avocado. Next up, add a piece of meat. You can use whatever kind of meat you want - deli meat, chopped ham, cold rotisserie chicken. You're the one eating these after all! We opted for thickly sliced turkey breast. Then fold up a strip of romaine lettuce into a weave and slide it onto the skewer.
Carefully slide half or a quarter of a hardboiled egg on, making sure not to crumble the yolk. Follow it up with a folded up slice of cooked, cooled bacon. Cap the skewer with a full cherry tomato for a fresh pop at the end! Repeat for all the skewers or until all of the ingredients are used up. Transfer to a platter or container and cover, storing in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
Finally, make the dip. On the Keto diet? No worries - this dip + dressing is completely approved for a low-carb lifestyle. Follow the recipe for our delicious Homemade Keto Avocado Ranch Dressing & Dip, covering and storing in the fridge until you're ready to serve up these tasty kabobs!
Pull all of the components out of the fridge about 15 minutes before serving so that they aren't too cold for your guests. Enjoy!

Notes
Interested in adding some other components? Try adding a cube of feta or blue cheese, red onion, or even some cucumber or radish. You can get a little creative if you're okay with straying from the classics.
Don’t have buttermilk on hand for the dressing? No problem! Make your own by combining just under ½ cup milk with 1 tbsp white vinegar. Let sit together for 3-5 minutes until slightly curdled. Add to the recipe as is!
You can change what type of dip you use to suit your tastes. Try a blue cheese dip or a more traditional oil and red wine vinegar dressing!
