\"Buttermilk<\/a><\/p>\n

Farmhand Salad with Blue Cheese Buttermilk Dressing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That’s because if I had my way I would just slather this dressing all over the salad until nothing was visible but creamy tangy milky goodness. What can I say \u2013 I’m the daughter of a farmer who used to drink homemade buttermilk straight from the jar!<\/p>\n

This salad was the first course for a lunch I cooked at Pie Ranch <\/a>for the SF based company Good Eggs<\/a>. If you’re living in the Bay Area and you’re not taking advantage of Good Eggs, by all means check ’em out! They have an online Farmer’s Market that allows you to shop local farms and artisanal products and have it all delivered to you.<\/p>\n

When I cook at Pie Ranch all ingredients are of course grown\/raised onsite which includes the milk products. If you happen to be traveling the beautiful coastal highway over the weekends you can stop in and buy veggies and pie and pastries. The pastries are made by a local bakery using flour grown and milled onsite. Here’s Pie Ranch’s\u00a0Yelp page with the address <\/a>so you can bookmark it on your next journey to Santa Cruz. They also have barn dances once a month that are a lot of fun…<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/a><\/p>\n

Little Gem Salad with Blue Cheese Buttermilk Dressing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I always figure on 1 little gem lettuce head per person and I use one per plate allowing the bigger darker leaves to be the bottom of the rosette and the inner brighter leaves to mound on top. Colorful radish and nasturtium petals dot the greens with sprays of peppery watercress and a sprinkling of chives. A crack of black pepper over the top is a must.<\/p>\n

The recipe below gives instruction on how to make buttermilk and mayonnaise from scratch. Of course you can just go buy it instead. But both are simple to make by hand…<\/p>\n
