Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the iceberg lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any outer leaves that are damaged. Cut the lettuce into quarters, forming wedges, and place them on a serving platter.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add Roasted Ingredients

    If using frozen corn or tomatoes, roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. If using canned or fresh, simply add them directly.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    On the wedges of iceberg lettuce, sprinkle the roasted corn, roasted tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and blue cheese evenly.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, and ranch seasoning mix until smooth. Add the diced jalapeño peppers and lime juice, stirring until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

  1. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Drizzle the spicy jalapeño ranch dressing over the assembled wedge salad. Serve immediately as a refreshing side or main dish.
