Homemade salad dressings are so much tastier and much better for ya.

By starting with cottage cheese it even increses your protein, which is always a plus.

Add a little kosher salt and pepper, and some fresh herbs if you have them.

I had parsley, chives, and basil in my garden so I figured they would be a good addition.

And just blend until smooth.

I made a few slices of bacon on my Blackstone E-series Indoor Griddle.

Usually I cut the bacon into bite size pieces, but cooking the slices on the griddle is super easy.

While the bacon was griddling away, I chopped some lettuce and slices grape tomatoes for the salads.

I had a whole rotisserie chicken from Costco so I topped the salads with that as well.
