Salad Base

House Made Ranch Dressing

Method

Preparation of Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the romaine lettuce and mixed greens under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl. Add the mixed greens to the bowl.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once cooked, place them on a paper towel to absorb excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Eggs

    Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomato and cucumber into small pieces. Thinly slice the red onion. Add all the chopped vegetables to the salad bowl along with the croutons and crumbled bacon.

Preparation of Ranch Dressing

  1. 5

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth.

  2. 6

    Add Seasonings

    Add the dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the dressing mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  3. 7

    Finish with Chives

    Finally, fold in the chopped fresh chives into the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Drizzle the house made ranch dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to combine all ingredients. Serve immediately as a refreshing side salad or main dish.
