Easy Garden Salad Recipe
Description
This garden salad combines fresh iceberg lettuce as the base with halved cherry tomatoes adding a burst of juiciness and sweetness. Crisp cooked bacon contributes a smoky, savory element, while diced hard-boiled eggs add protein and a soft texture contrast. Croutons introduce a crunchy bite, and thinly sliced red onion or chives bring mild, sharp notes to balance the salad's flavors. The assembled ingredients are tossed together just before serving with a homemade or prepared buttermilk ranch dressing to coat the ingredients evenly.
The salad's contrast of textures—from crunchy lettuce and croutons to creamy dressing and tender eggs—makes it satisfying and refreshing. It requires minimal prep and is versatile enough to accompany various main dishes or function as a light standalone option.
