PARTNER POST – Get inspired with creatively crafted Castello Blue Cheese as we celebrate a Summer of Blue with #BluesdayTuesday.
Grilled chicken is served in a Cobb salad, drizzled with a spicy buttermilk and topped with a creamy blue cheese. A cool salad that is great for these last summer days, but hearty enough for a crisp fall afternoon.

This salad is similar to a traditional cobb salad but with a spin. Grilled chicken and corn are added to this salad and it all is drizzled with an AMAZING spicy buttermilk ranch dressing. Loaded with cayenne pepper and tabasco for a hint of spice.
The Castello Blue Cheese makes this salad. It’s super creamy and tangy. Plus they are in slices which makes them perfect for sandwiches, salads or just for snacking! Castello has a wide range of unique blue cheeses.

Description
Grilled chicken is served in a Cobb salad, drizzled with a spicy buttermilk and topped with a creamy blue cheese. A cool salad that is great for these last summer days, but hearty enough for a crisp fall afternoon.
Ingredients
Chicken Cobb Salad
- 4 cups mixed greens

Instructions
Chicken Cobb Salad
- To assemble the salad fill two bowls with mixed greens.
- Top with chicken, corn, tomatoes, bacon, blue cheese and avocado.

Spicy Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
- Combine milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add in mayonnaise, sour cream, cayenne, dill, ground mustard and hot sauce. Whisk to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. I find it tastes better when it has time to sit, at least an hour.
