CHOPPED SALAD WITH SPICY BUTTERMILK DRESSING

Steps:
- Whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, scallion whites and garlic; Combine chile powder, salt and pepper and add to mixture.
- Add romaine, tomatoes, corn, cheese, and scallion greens to the bowl (if you are adding meat, you would add it here).
- Toss to combine and serve immediately.
- Tip: To neatly cut up a head of romaine, halve it through the core, and make a few evenly spaced cuts lengthwise, leaving core intact. Chop crosswise into bite-size pieces.
Tips:
- Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your dressing a better flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't over-mix the dressing: Over-mixing the dressing will make it thick and gloppy. Whisk the ingredients together just until they are combined.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will affect the taste of your dressing. Use fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables.
- Taste the dressing before serving: Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Serve the dressing immediately: Buttermilk dressing is best served immediately. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Buttermilk dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is creamy, tangy, and flavorful. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious buttermilk dressing that will add a touch of flavor to your salads. So next time you're looking for a new salad dressing, give buttermilk dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
