Instrucțiuni

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Whisk together buttermilk, Greek yogurt, sour cream, dill, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste, in a small bowl; set aside.

Salad

1. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.

2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, to taste. Add to skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.

3. In a medium bowl, add chicken and BBQ sauce, and gently toss to combine; set aside.

4. Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cover eggs with a tight-fitting lid and remove from heat; set aside for 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool before peeling and dicing.

5. To assemble the salad, place romaine lettuce in a large bowl; top with arranged rows of bacon, BBQ chicken, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, corn and beans.

6. Serve immediately with buttermilk ranch dressing.

Note

Notes from Rachel: I add cheese, because duh. Also it’s still yummy without meat.

To give it a more southwest flavor, I add taco or fajita seasoning to the corn and beans, and a spoonful of minced chipotle in adobo to the ranch dressing.
