When I made this I was out of bacon and basil, so I subbed with fresh chives and a little shredded parmesan for garnish. The dressing is awesome mixed with the blue cheese. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe. -
Yum! acerast sure had a winning recommendation here! I made this as directed except that I used a Peppercorn Ranch dressing - I love my pepper, lol. So simple and so good. Thanks Taste Tester and acerast for the recommendation. Made for Best of 2010 Tag game. -
This is so very good! We loved the bold flavors and creamy texture of the dressing with the crunchy iceberg. We keep cooked, crumbled bacon in the freezer so this will be easy to make any time. In winter I may use some pesto or dried basil rather than fresh to add the taste but cut the cost. Thanks for a keeper TasteTester.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
