Quarantine Meals: Hot Summer Night

When it's too hot to cook, you defrost. Rotisserie chicken. Bacon. Pull out vegetables from the fridge bin. Butter lettuce. Arugula. Celery. Red Cabbage. Cucumber. Avocado. Red onion. Hard boil some eggs. Pull out blue cheese from a fridge drawer. Whip up garden dressing with buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, macerated garlic, chopped dill, chopped garlic chives, chopped chives, rice wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, salt, Old Bay, and a bit of Hidden Valley ranch powder for a bit of thickening and that MSG umami.

I usually am the only one to eat this salad, but served it last night to hubs who actually enjoyed it sans blue cheese, which he says looks like mold he cleans from bathroom grout.
