Summer comes with lots of entertaining, both at home and outdoors. It seems, like I always need to bring a crowd-pleasing recipe to an event, and this Cobb Salad Dip is one that’s devoured quickly.
Although my kids are not big salad fans, they love this dip. And me? I take my salads very seriously!
Almost every day I bring a salad to work and one of my favorites is a big Cobb Salad. I have turned this salad into an amazing dip, which will make you the rockstar of the party.
Dips are a great way to add a few additional servings of veggies to your day. Sure, this dip is slightly indulgent, but remember to serve a large portion of veggies with not as much dip. Win-win for everyone.
What You Need
Turn Cobb salad into an inviting summer dip everyone will want to dig in! Here are the simple ingredients you need to make it happen:
- Cream cheese: for a creamy and thick consistency.
- Sour cream: mixed with the cream cheese creates an epic base for the dip.
- Ranch mix: a great seasoning you can easily make at home with this recipe.
- Romaine lettuce: the base for the dip. Other types of lettuce also work.
- Tomato: Roma, cherry, or any other tomato you have on hand is perfect!
- Cheddar cheese: shredded, to top the dip.
- Corn: canned, frozen, or even corn leftovers. If using frozen, thaw it first.
- Bacon: strips of bacon cooked and crumbled. You can use leftovers from breakfast.
- Blue cheese crumbles: the final cheesy touch to top the dip!
- Tortilla chips: blue corn or corn tortilla chips for serving.

I like to make this dip in the morning and refrigerate it for a few hours before serving, but as you will see in the video, it’s hard to resist digging in right away.

Do you have any suggestions for making this without dairy, soy, or nuts?
Laura Fuentes
I would use whatever you currently use to replace yogurt or cream cheese. Perhaps a vegan alternative.

Looks delicious! What is the best way to keep this cold while its sitting on the table outdoors?
Laura Fuentes
You can place it on a tray with ice (as in the tray/platter is bigger and the pie plate you use sits on top). I hope this helps!
