BUTTERMILK GREEN GODDESS SLAW
This herby coleslaw variation was adapted from "The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook" (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013) by Diane St. Clair. In it, a tangy buttermilk- and avocado-spiked green goddess dressing takes the place of the usual mayonnaise mix, for a slaw that's both lighter and fresher tasting. Like most coleslaws, it gets better as it sits so, if you have time, plan to make it a few hours ahead. Save any extra dressing to use as a dip for cut vegetables or for other salads. It will keep for up to two days in the fridge.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Put avocado, buttermilk, lemon juice, anchovy, scallions, garlic, parsley, chives, tarragon, olive oil and basil in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth and uniformly green, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine cabbage, scallions, jalapeño and cilantro. Pour 1 cup of green goddess dressing over slaw and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with more cilantro before serving. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Toss again before serving, adding more dressing if you like. Leftover dressing will keep for another day or two in the fridge.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients: Use ripe, in-season vegetables and herbs for the best flavor.
- Make sure the buttermilk is fresh: Buttermilk that is too old will have a sour taste and ruin the dressing.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this dressing, as it has a fruity flavor that complements the other ingredients.
- Season the dressing to taste: Taste the dressing and add salt and pepper until it is perfectly seasoned.
- Let the salad rest: After dressing the salad, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Buttermilk basil dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is light and refreshing, with a slightly tangy and creamy flavor. The dressing is also very easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you are looking for a simple dressing for a weekday salad or a more complex dressing for a special occasion, buttermilk basil dressing is a great option.
