BLT Salad w/ Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

One of my favorite things about salads is how easy they can be but also how creative you can get with them. I could basically eat salad every night as long as it wasn’t the same salad every. single. night. So many toppings and dressing options, who could get bored? One of my favorite salads is the Cobb Salad at the Canadian Brewhouse and substitute the normal dressing with their Jalapeno Ranch dressing. Simply the best. Unfortunately it isn’t logical to order that salad on a regular basis, so what did I do? Well I played with a bunch of ingredients and made my OWN Jalapeno Ranch to enjoy at home!
