Salad Base

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, place the romaine lettuce as the base. Arrange the diced chicken breast, crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, quartered hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, and blue cheese crumbles on top of the lettuce.

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth. Add in the chopped parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.

  2. 3

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. If the dressing is too thick, you can thin it out with a little extra buttermilk.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve the Salad

    Drizzle the buttermilk ranch dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients in the dressing, or serve the dressing on the side. Enjoy your classic Cobb salad!
