Paleo BLT Salad with Tangy Avocado Ranch Dressing

easy paleo and gluten-free recipe for a tangy avocado dressing

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for a classic salad featuring a new paleo and gluten-free Tangy Avocado Ranch Dressing I think you’re really going to like! 

I bet most of you already have all the ingredients you need to whip up this savory and succulent BLT salad – including everything for the yummy ranch dressing.

As you can probably tell from the dressing’s ingredients, this one has just a little bit of tanginess to it. A pretty good match for this particular salad I think.

This creamy avocado ranch dressing is so easy to make – just throw everything in your blender or NutriBullet. Add water as needed to get the perfect consistency for you.

However, if you’re feeling more adventurous and want to really amp up the spiciness, you might want to try my Paleo Avocado-Cilantro-Lime Sauce instead. That’s the dressing I normally pair with my beefy paleo taco salads, but if you like your greens with a little more kick, that may be the one for you.

That’s it peeps…just a nutritious paleo salad idea for you with a new recipe for a creamy, dairy-free paleo ranch dressing. 

Oh and feel free to toss in some shredded or leftover chicken if you want to pack this delicious salad with a little more protein.

Gotta love a meal you can throw together in minutes, right?

Enjoy!
