garlic powder

romaine lettuce (about 2 romaine hearts)

½ cup sliced red onion

cherry tomatoes

½ cup sliced (or chopped dill pickles)

cheddar cheese

avocado

honey mustard dressing

Make dressing

Make dressing by blending all of the ingredients together. 

Cook turkey

Place the ground turkey into a skillet over medium heat and cook meat for about 12 minutes, breaking the turkey with a spatula apart as it cooks. Once the meat is browned and fully cooked, stir in 1/4 cup diced red onion, ketchup, Worchestire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Toss to combine and remove from heat. 

Assemble salads

Prep salads by adding a bed of romaine to each bowl. Top each salad with toppings: seasoned turkey meat, red onion, tomatoes, pickles, shredded cheese and avocado slices. Drizzle on dressing and serve.

A quintessential summer salad featuring any favorite grilled meat - designed to use up leftover BBQ! Try it with thin sliced steak, chunks of chicken, or even pulled pork.

BBQ Ranch Salad

leftover BBQ

romaine

corn

tomatoes (diced)

bell pepper (diced)

onion

avocados

black beans

french fried onions (look

chopped cilantro (optional)

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

BBQ Sauce

Slice leftover BBQ meat, or grill up your choice of BBQ meat.

Corn:  If using leftovers, simply slice off the cob.  You can add it to the salad warm or cold!  If using un-cooked, cut off the cob and saute in a pan with a pat of butter for 4-5 minutes until golden.  You can also defrost fresh frozen corn from a bag.

For Dressing:  You may enjoy just our classic Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, as-is!  OR try my BBQ Ranch by placing 1 cup of ranch dressing in a bowl and whisking in your favorite BBQ sauce 1 tablespoon at a time, tasting as you go until you like it best. (Pro Tip:  This makes for a really great dipping sauce for fries, as well.)

Arrange greens in bowls.  Add BBQ meat and vegetables on top.  Sprinkle with french fried onions and top with dressing.
