CHICKEN BACON RANCH SALAD
I always seem to have leftover cooked chicken. This simple, tasty salad is a great use of your leftover chicken, either white meat, dark meat, or a combination! Romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, avocado, and cherry tomatoes combine with ranch dressing, and everything is topped off with crunchy bacon. Use purchased ranch salad dressing, or stir up one of the buttermilk dressing recipes on the site. Enjoy for a hearty lunch with some crackers, or for dinner, with a crusty bread. This recipe is proportioned for one person, but it's easy to double or triple for your needs.

Tips:
- Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for salads. They also have a slightly firmer texture, which adds a nice contrast to the creamy dressing.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: You don't want the potatoes to be mushy, so be sure to cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a good quality bacon: The bacon is one of the main ingredients in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: Crispy bacon adds a nice texture and flavor to the salad.
- Use a variety of lettuces: Using a variety of lettuces will add color and texture to the salad. Romaine lettuce is a good choice because it is sturdy and can hold up to the dressing.
- Use a creamy dressing: A creamy dressing will help to bind all of the ingredients together and make the salad more flavorful.
- Serve the salad immediately: Potato salad is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is a simple salad to make, but it is always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy dressing, crispy bacon, and tender potatoes, this potato salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
