Chopped Salad with Buttermilk-Peppercorn Dressing Recipe
Makes: About 1 cup dressing//4 to 6 servings
Total Time: 10 minutes plus time for pickling carrots
Hands-On Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
For the quick pickle:
- 6 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 pound baby carrots, trimmed and sliced paper thin
TIP
FYI, I’m not referring to those sad packaged “baby-cut” carrots here (which are merely larger carrots shaved into baby size). Instead, you’ll want to search out young spring carrots that are sold in bunches (often at farmer’s markets) with their skin on and the green tops still attached.
For the dressing:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup buttermilk, well shaken
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
For the salad:
- 6 ounces mixed spicy greens (such as baby spinach, tatsoi, arugula, frisee, and mustard greens)
- 1 handful roasted and salted almonds
- 1 medium ripe avocado, medium dice
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 2 Persian cucumbers, trimmed and sliced into half moons
- 1 bunch baby spring radishes, trimmed and sliced into half moons
Instructions
For the quick pickle:
Stir together the vinegar, sugar, and salt until well combined. Add the carrots and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, at least 15 minutes.
TIP
The pickle can be made up to 1 day ahead — just store it refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use. The dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored refrigerated in an airtight container; whisk briefly before using.
For the dressing:
Place all ingredients in a medium nonreactive bowl and whisk until smooth and evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
For the salad:
Place the greens in a large serving bowl (or individual bowls if you’d prefer) and arrange all the ingredients on top. Drizzle with a few spoonfuls of the dressing and serve.
