Sometimes I need to mix and match. Marry the flavors because well... I just like them all so I can't choose.
Thus inspired this savory summer salad. A cheesy buttermilk dressing, grilled corn, a beautiful tomato and some caramelized onions. Yep - I couldn't choose ... so they all came together for me in a rather tasty salad.
savory summer salad by ann west
bibb lettuce or romaine will do - I cut mine in wedges for fun
roasted corn - corn rubbed in olive oil cooked on the grill until done! Then sliced off the cob
one beautiful tomato - sliced thick
1 or 2 onions sliced super thin and caramelized in olive oil or butter
buttermilk dressing by ann west
1 cup buttermilk
goat cheese
1/4 c sour cream
chives
1 shallot minced
3-4 basil leaves
3-4 mint leaves
1 tbls of cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
dash or two of cayenne pepper
Mix the creamy ingredients first. Then add your herbs chopped very fine. If you are using a processor - don't over process or you will have a green goddess dressing.
enjoy!

WOW what a great looking salad! Love all the fresh ingredients!
We don't have the right tomatoes for this yet, but when we do...this will be fantastic!
Oh, Ann, this looks MAGICAL! And it's July in Connecticut: just the right season for everything... the juicy tomatoes, the sweet corn, a crispy red onion, all from the vegetable stand... how do you think it would be to add lemon zest/juice to the dressing? I seem to squeeze at least two lemons PER day!
Thanks for this gorgeous recipe!
