Traditional Salad

Do you enjoy those simple iceberg lettuce, romaine, shredded carrots, bacon bits, all swimming in ranch dressing salads you get at restaurants as a side to your meal?
My family orders "extra ranch" with their water lettuce and bacon bits... and boy did I miss ranch dressing when I swore off eating animals!

If you're craving this generally boring, simple, not incredibly nutritious traditional side salad, I've got the answer for you! No cooking necessary!

Ingredients:
Bag of salad (any kind! The darker the leaves, the healthier)
Ranch Dressing (Organicville makes a delicious non-dairy, no-egg ranch)
Bacon Bits (there are several brands sold at common grocery stores that contain no meat!)
Baby Carrots
Tofurky sandwich slices (cut/slice cold or hot) OR Morningstar Farms® Meal Starters™ Chik'n Strips
Pepper, of course

Combine ingredients and drench in ranch dressing. Mmm mmm, good!

  1. OOOh KP, thanks for posting this! I was going to ask you about a vegan ranch dressing. I'm thrilled to hear they make one that you recommend. I'll have to give it a try! P.S. - my favorite animal product-free "bacon" bits are the McCormick brand ones.

  2. Ah, awesome, a vegan ranch dressing. I tried making one once with cashews, and it was an exercise in misery.
