Bibb Salad with Buttermilk Dressing Recipe

Bibb Salad with Buttermilk Dressing Recipe

  • Dressing
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup skim milk
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • Salad
  • 4 heads Bibb lettuce, cored and leaves separated
  • 1/2 pound string beans, ends trimmed, and blanched
  • 1/2 cup croutons (preferably made from cornbread)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon
  • 1/2 cup roasted beets (see Chef's Note below)
  • 1 cup goat cheese
  1. Prepare Dressing. Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a large bowl, mixing until smooth. (The cheese might still be somewhat lumpy, but that is fine). Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Blanch String Beans. Bring water to a boil, and cook string beans for approximately 2 minutes. Drain and dry with paper towels.
  3. Make Salad. Combine the lettuce, string beans, croutons and bacon in a large bowl. Pour about half of the dressing overtop and toss gently to coat.
  4. To Serve: Evenly divide salad onto 12 individual plates. Divide the beets evenly and sprinkle with goat cheese.
