Step-by-Step Instructions for Cobb Salad Skewers

Prepare the hard-boiled eggs by placing them in a pot, covering with water, and boiling. Simmer for 9-12 minutes, then cool in an ice bath. Wash and dry the Bibb lettuce, slice the avocado, and cook the bacon until firm but not crispy.
Start assembling your Cobb Salad Skewers by threading a cherry tomato onto a skewer, followed by a piece of Bibb lettuce, a slice of turkey, a strip of bacon, a chunk of avocado, a quartered hard-boiled egg, and finish with another cherry tomato.
Drizzle Ranch dressing over the assembled skewers and sprinkle with chopped chives before refrigerating for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
