Crispy, creamy, and completely addictive, this Ranch Tater Tot Salad combines golden baked tater tots with fresh veggies, cheese, and a high-protein ranch dressing made with Spicetein Ranch Seasoning. It’s the ultimate crowd-pleasing side dish that feels indulgent but delivers real benefits.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup red onion (diced small)
½ cup chopped green onions or chives
1 cup small diced cucumbers

For the Protein Ranch Dressing:

1 cup plain full-fat Greek Yogurt
1 ½ half servings (3 tbsp) Spicetein Ranch Seasoning
1-2 tbsp water (to thin slightly)

Instructions

Bake tater tots according to package instructions until golden. Remove and lightly smash down each tater tot until flattened. Put back in the oven until golden and crispy.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes so they stay crisp when mixing.
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt and Spicetein Ranch. Thin with water if needed.
In a large bowl, combine tater tots, cheddar, red onion, green onions, corn, and diced cucumber.
Gently fold the dressing until evenly coated.
Garnish with extra green onions or dill and serve immediately!
