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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, avocado cubes, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Add the crumbled bacon to the salad and toss well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 6

Drizzle the homemade ranch dressing over the salad and gently toss again to coat the entire salad with dressing evenly.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Classic Ranch Salad!
