Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to the temperature recommended on the package of French fries (typically 425°F / 220°C).

Step 2

Spread the frozen French fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake according to package instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through for even crisping.

While the fries are baking, wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion and peel and dice the cucumber. Add both to the salad.

Step 6

Once the French fries are fully cooked and golden brown, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Cut the bacon slices into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing and hot sauce together to create a spicy ranch dressing.

Step 9

Add the French fries on top of the salad, followed by shredded cheddar cheese and bacon pieces.

Step 10

Drizzle the spicy ranch dressing over the salad and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately while the fries are still warm, and enjoy this hearty, flavorful salad!
