The ranch dressing used in the recipe is key to making it really good.  Ranch goes perfectly with tomatoes and bacon and grilled cheese.  It was a good choice!

I make salad pretty much every single day in my house, and I’m always trying to find new ways to top my greens.  I think you’ll find that this salad recipe is a good one!

Here are a few salad tips:

  • Store your lettuces in sealable plastic bags wrapped in a damp paper towel.
  • Expand your vision of the crouton.  Bagel chips and crisp farro can play the role of good crispness in salads.
  • Add crisp apple or pear and some good cheese and make that salad a full meal.
  • Crisping tofu in the oven is an easy way to get protein into any salad.
  • Make a salad based on what you have in the refrigerator and not what you think you need.

    I love this salad Lori. My hooligans would go crazy for this, especially B. He’s so into grilled cheese. I love Newman”s Own, it’s always in my fridge. I can’t wait to try this.

    OK, I’m actually drooling from these photos. I was looking for something easy to cook up. At first I thought that this is way out of my league and then I read the salad tips from Hugh Acheson. The one that made the biggest impression was – Make a salad based on what you have in the refrigerator and not what you think you need. Great tip indeed.
