Steps:
- For the carrots: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the green leaves from the carrot tops, then rinse, drain and set them aside to use for the dressing. Use a vegetable brush to clean the carrots (leave the peel on to give the carrots texture). Cut them on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
- In a small bowl, toss the carrots with the olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until tender and caramelized (I like mine to be on the borderline of starting to burn), about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they burn easily! Let cool completely.
- For the dressing: While the carrots cool, make the dressing. Whisk the buttermilk, yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper in a bowl until emulsified. Stir in the chives, tarragon, dill, carrot leaves and oregano.
- For the salad: In a large salad bowl, toss the lettuce, pistachios, cherries, cheese and carrots with the dressing. Serve immediately.

WILTED CURLY ENDIVE
This warm salad is a deliciously different way to serve lettuce. Unlike other wilted versions, this one is not sweet. Vinegar and bacon give it old-fashioned savory goodness.

LEAF LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:
- Put the Mayonnaise, Vinegar and Sugar into a bowl and stir until mixed --
- Place in the refrigerator to allow the ingredients to blend and to allow time for the sugar to dissolve --
- Remove the individual leaves from the main plant -- Do not cut, pull them apart --
- Rinse each leaf under cold water and shake excess water off the leaves --
- Remove the tender portion of the leaf from the stalk and discard the stalk --
- 'Tear' leaves into whatever size you think will fit into your mouth --
- This is enough dressing for about half a large bunch of lettuce -- Remaining lettuce can be stored in the refrigerater, covered, for use tomorrow --
- Start by tossing a third or so of the lettuce with the dressing and add lettuce until the lettuce is coated well with the dressing -- (you don't want a pool of sauce in the bottom of the bowl but you want the lettuce well coated) --
- This is best if the lettuce is mixed with the dressing just prior to eating -- The flavor won't change but the lettuce tends to get soggy after about an hour after mixed with the dressing -- .

RED TIPPED LEAF LETTUCE SALAD
The recipe for this came from a close friend of ours and we make it a LOT simply because we cannot find one that we like more. I posted it here exactly as the original recipe was written.I have asked her for the recipe at LEAST a dozen times, and now that it is out on the site I will be able to find it! The type of "leaf" does not matter. I usually make it with fresh spinach.......using a 16 oz bag. You can also sub chopped macademia nuts, for the sesame seeds. Some times I throw in some crumbled Feta cheese too! The oranges really make it look pretty!

Steps:
- To make the dressing, mix salad oil, vinegar, salt, sugar and mustard in a small bowl and whisk together with a fork.
- Pour dressing, seeds and fruit over the lettuce and/or spinach just before serving and toss it all to combine. Do not put the dressing on the salad until just before you serve it because it will wilt!
- IMPORTANT NOTE: ALTHOUGH the original recipe here calls for both celery salt AND regular salt, it is too much. Unless you really like salt, just use the celery salt amount!

Tips:

- Toast the cashews in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a light hand when dressing the salad. You don't want to overwhelm the delicate flavors of the lettuce and endive.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will prevent the lettuce and endive from wilting.
Conclusion:
This red leaf lettuce, curly endive, and cashew salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of the crisp lettuce and endive, the crunchy cashews, and the tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
