The PERFECT Summer Salad

I LOVE salads. I am always experimenting with different salad combinations in the hope of the PERFECT salad! And especially now that the weather is warming up, I could eat a salad every single day.

BLT Salad

One of our favorite sandwiches to make is a BLT. There’s just something special about the combination of juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce and crunchy bacon on a soft bun.

Low Carb Salad

Since the beginning of the year I’ve been trying to eat less carbs, so I thought it would be fun to experiment making a salad that incorporates all of these flavors and textures. And after some test runs, we have a winner!

A Healthier Chicken Salad

Introducing my new favorite summer salad — The Healthier Ranch BLT Chicken Salad! I found a few ways to reduce the fat and calories too.

Healthier BLT Ranch Chicken Salad

This is a salad with all of the TASTE of ranch plus BLT without the guilt. It is going to become your favorite salad. It’s perfect to make for dinner. But it’s also great to bring to a summer BBQ or party!

Secret Ingredient in Ranch BLT Chicken Salad

The secret ingredient in this salad is a package of powdered ranch dressing mix. I added the mix to the mayonnaise and sour cream and it brings the tangy zestiness of RANCH to this salad. SO easy!

Serve Chicken Salad Different Ways

And there are so many ways to serve this salad. Put it on a bun with fresh lettuce and you have the perfect sandwich!

Chicken Salad Can be a Side Dish or Main Meal

Serve it at a summer party or BBQ as a salad. For a hearty dinner, serve it on a bed of lettuce. The ranch in the sauce makes it so that you don’t need a dressing for this salad.

Chicken Salad is also very low in weight watcher points. This one is 4 WW points without the bun.

    You mention using ranch dressing mix but it’s not in the recipe. Do you add the whole envelope with the mayo, etc ?

    Thanks! This salad looks great!

      Hi Diane!

      Thanks for catching that! I will fix it. Yes I added one packet of ranch mix to the sour cream.

    Jen, This looks delicious and I printed it out. Then, I saw, I think, that you left out the brand of ranch dry mix.

      Thanks for catching that! I added the ranch dressing mix to the sour cream as the first step. I updated the recipe. Thanks again!

    Please update your recipe to reflect the addition of the Ranch dressing mix. It isn’t in the ingredient list, or the directions: “The secret ingredient in this salad is a package of powdered ranch dressing mix. I added the mix to the mayonnaise and sour cream and it brings the tangy zestiness of RANCH to this salad.”
