Lemon Ranch Vinaigrette Dressing
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon Dill Weed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- Salt to taste
Salad Assembly
- 8 Slices Deli Chicken
- 2 Hard boiled Eggs peeled and quartered
- 4 Slices Bacon Cooked till crisp and crumbled
- 2 Base Salads or 4 cups Salad greens
- ⅓ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- ½ Ripe Avocado Sliced
- Cherry Tomatoes halved
Lemon Ranch Vinaigrette
Add the lemon juice olive oil, dill, mustard, seasonings, and garlic to a measuring vessel, whisk or blend until emulsified.
Season with salt, to taste.
Cover and chill until ready to use.
Note: May need to be re-whisked before serving.
Salad Assembly
Uncover and fluff 2 base salads, or divide salad greens between 2 bowls.
Roll each slice of deli chicken, then slice into pieces.
Arrange all salad topping ingredients over the base salads, serve immediately with the dressing.
This makes more dressing than you’ll need for 2 servings, but the nutrition info reflects the entire amount called for.
See the post for details on how I do base salads.
