Iceberg lettuce is back with its crisp texture and light flavor. The homemade dressing is full of flavor and tastes from scratch even though a little help is used with the packet of ranch dressing.

Ingredients

4 slices bacon
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 packet ranch dressing mix (2 oz packet)
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
1 head iceberg lettuce, cored and cut into 4 large wedges

Directions

PREP

25 mins

READY IN

25 mins

Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp; remove bacon and drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon.

Saute onion in reserved hot drippings over medium heat for 10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. Remove from heat; cool.

Process onion, buttermilk, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, basil and garlic cloves in food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.

Top each lettuce wedge with dressing; sprinkle with bacon. Top with additional shredded basil if desired.

NOTE: You can make the dressing ahead of time and store in refrigerator. This recipe take more time to make the dressing from scratch, but it's well worth it.

"This was a really good salad. My only complaint was I thought it was a bit too garlicky. Loved it but the flavor just lingered a bit too long in my mouth."
