The other day I was eating string cheese and wheat thins for lunch with my kids when my husband sent over a picture of the most beautiful stacked salad he was having at lunch in Minneapolis. Today, I grabbed some ingredients from the salad bar at my local grocery store, turned on Giada while the girls were napping, and ate like a Queen!
Having a food stacker is helpful for this but not necessary. (A food stacker looks like a giant round cookie cutter and can be found at any cooking store.) A measuring cup, cookie cutter, or can might work. I decided to stack a Cobb salad but feel free to use any ingredients you like!
I shredded iceberg lettuce and added a little dressing to it.
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped hard boil eggs
Diced bacon
Blue cheese
Sliced purple onion
Avocado
Lump crab meat
Arugula micro greens
Add each ingredient on top of each other and press down firmly. Hold down ingredients and slowly pull up stacker.
I whipped up a dressing of lemon juice, EVOO, chopped garlic, and s&p.
