Salad from my mom and dads garden.....

This is a salad dressing that just brings me back to my childhood. Growing up we always had a garden and there is just something so special about home grown things to me. We made a trip to my mom and dads a few little while ago and of course their garden is as always growing beautifully. We came home with a HUGE bag of leafy greens, spinach, radishes, dill and green onions. I got to work the next day!!!!

Ingredients:
1 cup of buttermilk
3 Tbsp mayonaise
3 Tbsp sour cream
1 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon
3 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
3 Tbsp green onion, chopped
1/4 cup radishes, shredded
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Mix the buttermilk, mayo, sour cream, and vinegar in a large bowl till well combined then add the remaining ingredients and mix. Chill for at least 30 min then serve over a salad.
Home grown leafy greens are a little more work. Most of them are covered in dirt and may have little creatures living in them so they need a very good thorough washing and then drying. All worth the extra effort.
Yummmmmy radishes!

  2. We also had a large garden when I was young, and I remember that the first things to come out of it in the spring were the young tender lettuces. I don't have much of a garden myself, but I get fresh veggies from my brother. His greens are beautiful right now, and I'm going to try your salad dressing recipe with them. Thank you for sharing!

  20. absolutely amazing. i used the exact recipe - 1/2 cup of sugar - for a total of 1 cup instead based off of the other reviews. made this for my family, who are the biggest food critics, and everyone loved it. this will be a household staple.
