Ingredients
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 8 radishes, thinly sliced
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Homemade Ranch Dressing (see recipe below)
- 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- Crispy Onion Rings (see recipe below)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large onion
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt
- 11/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large egg whites
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Remove any wilted leaves from the outside of the iceberg lettuce. Remove the core and slice the head of lettuce in half from top to bottom. Cut each half into 3 wedges.
- Arrange 6 wedges on a platter. Top each wedge with sliced radishes and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle about 1/2 cup of dressing all over the lettuce and veggies. Top with the blue cheese and chives. Place baked onion rings on top. Serve with extra dressing on the side.
- Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, garlic powder, chives, dill, parsley, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Transfer the dressing to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. Dressing can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the onion into 1-inch-thick rings. Separate the rings and save the small inner rings for another use. Add the large rings to a bowl and cover with the water. Let the onions sit while you prepare the dredging stations.
- Add the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a medium shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Add the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to a second shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Add the egg whites to a third shallow bowl and whisk vigorously until they are frothy and foamy, but not holding peaks.
- Remove each onion ring from the water, shaking off any excess, and place immediately into the flour mixture, making sure to toss until it’s fully coated. Next, dip the onion ring into the egg white mixture, flipping to coat thoroughly. Shake off any excess egg white and transfer the onion ring to the panko mixture, gently pressing in the breadcrumbs to adhere. Place the onion ring on the prepared baking sheet and continue the process with the rest of your onion rings.
- Generously spray the onion rings with non-stick cooking spray. Flip the onion rings and generously spray the other side. Bake until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through, about 20 minutes.
Reviews
The onion rings were awesome. Didn’t make the salad or dressing. I put the dry ingredients in two separate bags (instead of using dishes) to shake the onion rings in. Next time I need to spray them more. They were very crispy, but not super brown. I probably only used half of the dry ingredients because I only coated enough rings to fit on one half sheet pan, which was 16 of varying sizes
Why is my Panko not sticking
Made the onions rings and they are a keeper recipe. So delicious and I think pretty healthy!
The onion rings wedge salad is so good and the ranch dressing is now my go to. Oh my goodness, so good. I Love dill.
Loved this recipe! After I made it through the tedious, and messy dredging process, I appreciated that they were baked and not fried. Tasted flavorful, crunchy and delicious!
Recipe for onion rings doesn’t give you the instructions for making. There are some of us that need the instructions.
Easier than I thought it would be!
I made these onion rings to go with steak for Father’s Day! They were outstanding! I used Vidalia onions and they were perfect to bite into. The rings remained crispy and the breading was tasty. My husband kept raving about them.
I made the onion rings for dinner tonight. They were FANTASTIC and super easy to make. I made them while the grill and oven were preheating. They came out of the oven while the steak was resting. Will definitely make again.
The salad and dressing, delicious. But the onion rings – to die for! They come out crispy, crispy, crispy and fabulous! I made zucchini strips using the same method. I used sweet onions and they had such good flavor. Oh my goodness, this recipe is a keeper.
