Sriracha Ranch Salad
This salad, y’all! I may be a little late to the sriracha party, but let me tell ya- I have arrived! What starts off as a simple blend of some of my favorite ingredients, gets some major pizzazz from homemade ranch dressing, kicked up a notch with sriracha sauce. Then add in crunchy roasted ranch chickpeas and flavorful sriracha almonds and you’ve got yourself a top-notch craveable salad.
I’ve been building up to this tasty Sriracha Ranch Salad all week. If you happened to miss the homemade ranch dressing seasoning and crispy crunchy ranch chickpeas you need to head on over and check out those posts. Believe me it’s so worth your time. All of the ingredients come together perfectly to create what I’m calling the salad of the summer.
It’s the perfect healthy, but still incredibly tasty addition to your summer get-togethers. The sriracha ranch also makes for the perfect veggie dipper to serve as an appetizer. Just use a little less almond milk for a thicker dip.
To really bring out the sriracha flavor and add a savory crunch, I topped this deliciousness off with a new favorite- Bold Sriracha Blue Diamond Almonds. After working with Blue Diamond over the past year or so and getting to try out a variety of flavorful almonds, Brad insists that these are truly the best. I had to hide just enough to get this salad made! After finishing up my Sriracha Ranch Salad photo shoot, I told him he could eat the rest of the almonds and they were gone in a matter of minutes.
I think I need Blue Diamond to send me another canister on the down-low. Ha! These almonds aren’t overly spicy, like you might expect by looking at the art on the side of the canister, but have such a wonderful and quite addicting flavor… and we’re not even over-the-top sriracha people. However, I might have just crossed over to the other side because I can’t get this salad off my mind. I must recreate it again very soon!
