Classic Cobb Mason Jar Salad

Pack classic Cobb salad upside down in a Mason jar for a healthy grab-and-go lunch that won't get soggy sitting in the fridge all morning. Choose the tangiest aged blue cheese you can find; its flavor will go a long way.

Ingredients:

  • ⅓ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup nonfat buttermilk or nonfat milk
  • ⅓ cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar, or white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons creamy blue cheese dressing
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons chopped tomato
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 1 ounce chopped low- or reduced-sodium deli ham
  • 1 ounce chopped low- or reduced-sodium deli turkey
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, diced
  • 1 slice crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
  • ½ avocado, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 ½ cups chopped romaine lettuce

Directions:

  1. To prepare dressing: Whisk mayonnaise, buttermilk (or milk), yogurt, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Add cheese and stir, mashing with a spoon until the cheese is incorporated
  2. To prepare salad: Add 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing to a quart-size Mason jar. (Save remaining dressing for another use) Top with cucumber, tomato and onion. Layer in ham, turkey, egg and bacon. Gently toss avocado with lime juice in a small bowl, then add to the jar. Top the salad with blue cheese. Fill the remaining space in the jar with lettuce. Put the lid on the jar and refrigerate.
  3. When ready to serve, shake the salad from the jar into a bowl.
