Salad With Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Recipes

ICEBERG SALAD WITH BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING

Steps:

• Coarsely chop 1 scallion and add it to the bowl of a food processor with the garlic; pulse until garlic is minced. Add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and salt and pepper, to taste, and pulse until well combined and smooth. Slice the iceberg into 1-inch thick slices, cutting parallel to the core end and transfer to cold salad plates. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing over each slice. Thinly slice the remaining scallion, on a bias, and sprinkle over the salads.
• Note: This dressing tastes better as it sits; make it ahead and keep it chilled in the refrigerator.

CHOPPED SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-RANCH DRESSING

Steps:

• Prepare the dressing: In a large measuring cup, whisk all the dressing ingredients together to combine. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. (Makes 1 ¼ cups. It will taste quite salty at this point, and that is intentional. You want it to hold up when tossed with a big pile of vegetables.)
• In a large shallow bowl or platter, toss the romaine with half of the following ingredients: corn, radishes, avocado, sliced scallions, Cotija and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add ½ cup dressing and toss to coat. Season again with salt and pepper.
• Top with the remaining corn, radishes, avocado, scallions, Cotija and cilantro, scattering the garnishes on top or arranging them in stripes or piles. Sprinkle some crumbled tortilla chips on top, if using. Drizzle the salad with an additional 1/4 cup dressing, and serve immediately, serving any remaining dressing and additional tortilla chips alongside.
