As Father’s Day approaches and summer is coming into full swing I’m sure there will be many events coming up that involve BBQ’s, summer cookouts, camping, parties, etc…
What better dish to bring or serve on a nice warm summer day than a Loaded Avocado Ranch Salad?
We recently were invited to a friend’s house for swimming, BBQ and a day of fun in the sun! I offered to bring a salad and knew that the Loaded Avocado Ranch Salad would be the perfect accompaniment to burgers, hot dogs and baked beans. I also had no doubt that everyone would love the salad! Who doesn’t like a traditional ranch salad? The Loaded Avocado Ranch Salad is just that, a LOADED up version of the classic salad that everyone loves!
Here you go, the recipe that you will want to have printed out and in your recipe collection for this summer!

Tootles,
I love salad. Even if it’s loaded up with cheese and avocado and dressing, I still feel virtuous eating it. This looks great 🙂
Vanessa I agree, isn’t it funny how salad can do that! I love salads!
