Ree has some simple ideas to make a plain salad more interesting. First, she makes her own flavorful croutons from burger buns, and second, she creates an herby dressing using mayo and sour cream as a base.

This wedge salad is delicious!! The dressing is easy to make, VERY tasty, and light. The possibilities for using the dressing on other dishes is endless. I like this salad because it does not have blue cheese crumbles. The croutons are well seasoned and work well with the salad.
