Garlic Ranch Dressing
makes 4-6 servings
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup buttermilk
½ garlic clove; gratedr
red onion, grated, with the juice
salt and pepper
Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, grated garlic, grated onion with its juices, and salt and pepper into a small bowl. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together, smoothing out the mixture. Adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
For Salad: In a small fry pan set over medium-high heat, brown the bacon bits.
While this happens, begin construction of your salad. Place desired
amount of mache lettuce leaves onto a big plate or bowl. Season with
salt and pepper. Disperse thinly sliced red onion throughout. When the bacon is done cooking, set aside, leaving behind the grease.
Fry the egg, seasoning with salt and pepper, and then cook almost all
the way through. Finish by flipping it over to cook over easy. Set
aside. Dress the salad lightly with the homemade garlic ranch dressing.
Adorn the salad with the fried egg and scatter the bacon bits all
around.
