Steps:

• For the Buttermilk Ranch Dressing: Stir together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Assemble the salad: Arrange the lettuce, Sourdough Croutons, tomatoes, Cheddar, carrots, cucumbers, onion, eggs and ham on a serving platter. Drizzle with desired amount of buttermilk ranch dressing.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the bread cubes, olive oil, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and pepper on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the bread begins to brown, 10 minutes. Stir and bake until the croutons are browned and crispy, 5 minutes more. Set aside to cool completely.

Steps:

• Slice cucumber and toss with lettuce, celery and carrots. Place leaf lettuce on plate or container as an under liner. Add the greens.
• Place the remaining ingredients in neat rows across the greens. Slice the meat and cheese in strips and place on top of the salad. Serve with your choice of fat-free salad dressing.

Steps:

• For the salad: Add the almonds, pistachios, sunflower seeds and walnuts to a dry skillet and toast over medium heat until they brown slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle with sea salt.
• For the dressing: Add the raspberries to a mason jar. Using the back of a wooden spoon, smash the berries. Add the olive oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon, water and some salt and pepper. Secure the lid and shake.
• Add the spinach, chard, collard greens and kale to a salad bowl. Toss with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dressing. Top with the chickpeas, kidney beans and feta and toss before serving. Refrigerate the remaining dressing.

Steps:

• Rinse and dry your lettuce and veggies. Put the lettuce into individual bowls, put prepared veggies on top. I lay out the sliced meat and roll each piece up cigar style and then slice into little spirals. Put that on top and add your cubed cheese. Put on your dressing and sunflower seeds.

Steps:

• Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and put into a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss with 1/2 cup of the dressing. Divide the lettuce among 4 large individual serving bowls. Arrange the cheese, meats, eggs, and avocado, like the spokes of a wheel, on top of each salad. Scatter the tomatoes, cucumbers, and croutons on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine lettuce, beans if desired, onion, radishes, cucumber and tomato. Arrange ham and cheese on top. Cover and refrigerate until serving. In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; stir until well blended. Chill for 1 hour. Serve with the salad.
