This salad is inspired by a salad at one of my favorite restaurants Bettina. My family goes regularly for their sourdough pizzas with seasonal toppings. But the baby gems with homemade ranch is not to be missed. They top theirs with cucumbers, radishes and shredded goat cheddar which I highly recommend. I like to add slices of creamy avocado and chicken to make it more of a meal.
