I really loved this salad. We had it a few weeks back with the burgers and I never posted the recipe. It is so delicious.
I am almost never drawn to buttermilk dressing. And this buttermilk dressing was amazing. With all my dressings, even creamy ones, I like them to be fairly runny. And this recipe has the perfect consistency for me.
Also, I try and try to eat raw whole radishes. My dad always does. And it seems like something cool people do. But I always fail. At being cool. And at eating whole raw radishes. Maybe someday I will acquire the taste. However, cut up in this salad, they are so amazing. It is such a good combo of the radish, cabbage, celery and the sweet buttermilk dressing.
And check out my new pages! I added some info about me and about this blog. I also added a recipe index.

This salad looks beautiful. What a great presentation. And I'm sure it pairs so well with other summer eats. Thank you for sharing!
