I can’t wait til we can have our own lettuce again. I won’t buy any from the store. Until our tomatoes come in I use our own dried tomatoes from last year. I have about 3 quart bags in the fridge left. I dry them italian style, olive oil and herbs in our dehydrator. Your recipe sounds good. We use up our dried tomatoes in salads until out tomatoes come in. Although we chop them small. BTW chopped dry tomatoes are great mixed in with cream cheese for a spread. And I take the last of them and put them in a cuisinart with a bottle of good ranch dressing. Lots, until it turns orange. Great dressing.

That salad sounds so good! I bought Buttermilk yesterday for a batch of Buttermilk Salad Dressing. :)

Yes, I know I can MAKE Buttermilk (1 cup milk, 1 Tbsp. White Vinegar, let sour a bit) but I wanted to follow the recipe to-the-letter at first, then I’ll experiment.
