What I’m Serving With My Dill Pickle Ranch
I absolutely love this dill ranch dressing with my oven baked salmon. It’s simply seasoned with my all-purpose blend and it only takes 20 minutes in the oven. While you wait, you’ll have plenty of time to prep your ranch. And, test taste…ya know…for quality control and such.
Salad Base and Dressing Drizzle
For the salad portion, I use a vibrant mix of greens. Whatever sounds good and what I have on hand is what goes in the bowl. There are no wrong choices in greens!
Next, I pile on creamy avocado slices, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crispy bacon. Thin slices of red onion and cucumber finish off the base of the salad.
Finally, the all important drizzle of creamy dill pickle ranch. Who am I kidding. I don’t drizzle. I do a heavy-handed pour and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Serving size does not apply here. The more the merrier when it comes to this dressing!
