Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the bacon. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and let them drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and cube the avocado. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the ranch dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, avocado cubes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add the crumbled bacon to the salad and toss well to combine all the ingredients.
Drizzle the homemade ranch dressing over the salad and gently toss again to coat the entire salad with dressing evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Classic Ranch Salad!
