Ingredients

2 scallions, trimmed

1 garlic clove

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup buttermilk

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1 head iceberg lettuce, washed, shaken dry, and cored

Directions

  1. Coarsely chop 1 scallion and add it to the bowl of a food processor with the garlic; pulse until garlic is minced. Add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and salt and pepper, to taste, and pulse until well combined and smooth. Slice the iceberg into 1-inch thick slices, cutting parallel to the core end and transfer to cold salad plates. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing over each slice. Thinly slice the remaining scallion, on a bias, and sprinkle over the salads.
  2. Note: This dressing tastes better as it sits; make it ahead and keep it chilled in the refrigerator.

I agree with someone who said it makes a great base to start from- I had buttermilk left from another recipe so decided to try this! Also agree with comments about too strong on the mayo- I ended up adding probably 1/4 cup or so more buttermilk both to cut the mayo flavor but also make the consistency a little thinner. I added some chopped dill & parsley I had in my freezer as well, easy to add whatever herbs you might have around. A keeper for me, for the base recipe for sure.
