Reviews
Best I’ve had which is big as I never made it before
Really great fresh tasting dressing, but I did add a little garlic. The family and I love this salad!
Oh. My. Goodness. This salad was so good. BUT…. the homemade bacon buttermilk dressing is absolutely out of this world delicious! Sooooo good!
Very refreshing !
Yummy. Excited to see if my family likes this tonight. Dressing tastes amazing. I did toss a little raw onion and one garlic clove.
This dressing is delicious! A perfect compliment to the salad. I will be making this from now on.
The salad was great, omitted the red onion and added chopped bacon. Used blue cheese instead of cheddar. The dressing was really thin and did not have a lot of flavor, so I added 1/4 mayo and 1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese to the dressing.
