Salad of Romain, cheese, bacon, egg, tomato and homemade buttermilk dressing from #spinachtiger #salad via @angelaroberts

This is for you men out there who claim to hate salad. I know who you are, and I have this to say. You haven’t tried my farmhouse salad yet. This farmhouse salad is has all the things you love. Bacon, cheese, corn on the cob and that creamy, buttermilk dressing you grew up on.

Here’s the funny part of this. I have never much cared for this type of salad, always leaning towards  a sultry, sexy vinaigrette  and fancy lettuce.

This is  a comfort food salad, a good meal actually, because the combination of everyone’s favorite foods like cheese and bacon is brought under that creamy stream of buttermilk. The crunch and flavors are happy.

Farmhouse Salad

I call it a farmhouse salad for obvious reasons. I used a white farmhouse cheddar that is crumbly and has a good kick to it. I added a bit of corn cut from the cob, which is great for summertime, and in the winter, let me suggest adding in some thawed, frozen peas.

Corn and bacon for summer; peas and bacon for winter. Trust me on this. It works. The buttermilk dressing can be found here.

There are a few fun ways to make this. Serve individual dishes of long leaves of Romaine. It’s pretty and dramatic. Or chop it all up and serve in a big bowl. You can shred iceberg lettuce for this salad or use Romaine. I like the heartier lettuces for this type of salad. They are full of water, but that just adds the right texture, as the lettuce is more crunchy and stable.

    I think what makes a simple recipe divine is using all fresh ingredients. Clearly, you know this, too. Homemade buttermilk dressing and corn cut fresh from the cob, and crispy bacon you’ve just fried yourself would make ALL the difference, than mass-produced and preserved pre-fab ingredients that you’d see at a salad bar or in a chain restaurant. The simple things, well done, can be exquisite!
