Salad Base

Method

Preparing the Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the baby iceberg lettuce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

  2. 2

    Chop the Lettuce

    Cut the baby iceberg lettuce into quarters or smaller wedges, depending on your preference for serving size. Place in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

    Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the salad bowl with the lettuce.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad.

  5. 5

    Slice the Red Onion

    Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the slices to the salad bowl.

  6. 6

    Add Blue Cheese

    Sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles over the salad ingredients in the bowl.

Making the Dressing

  1. 7

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, chopped dill, chopped chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  2. 8

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary (you may want to add more salt or pepper to taste).

Serving the Salad

  1. 9

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the buttermilk herb dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Use tongs or a large spoon to gently toss the salad to coat everything evenly with the dressing.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
