Ingredients

Salad

  • 12 slices bacon cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 head romaine lettuce about 6 cups chopped
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup croutons

Dressing

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoon buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoon chives chopped fine
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Cook Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisped to your preference. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Make Dressing & Toss Salad: Whisk the dressing ingredients together. Add the salad ingredients to a large salad bowl, reserving ¼ cup of the bacon. Drizzle the dressing into the salad bowl and toss well to coat the ingredients well with dressing.
  • Garnish & Serve: Garnish with reserved bacon and serve.

Notes

  1. If you want to amp up the protein in this salad, try adding chicken, salmon, or hard boiled eggs!
  2. If you plan on having any leftovers, leave the dressing on the side and toss individual servings. Undressed salad will last around 2-3 days in the fridge, if your salad is already dressed, it will become soggy in the fridge!
  3. Your homemade salad dressing will last 1 week stored in an airtight container, bottle, or jar.
