Cooling buttermilk and sour cream dressed salad with a satisfying crunch

This Buttermilk and Hazelnut Salad is versatile enough to be served alongside grilled meats and vegetables at a barbecue, on the table at an al fresco lunch, in a picnic spread or stuffed into flatbreads with spicy marinated chicken.

Keep the salad crunchy

For best results, use a lettuce with firm, crisp leaves such as cos, romaine or little gem. You could also mix in some radicchio for extra crunch and a nice touch of colour. Hazelnuts toasted with ground cumin add texture and crunch and a nice earthy flavour.

Versatile summer salad recipe with a cooling buttermilk dressing, crunchy hazelnuts and salty crumbled feta
Prep Time10 minutes mins
Total Time10 minutes mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 200g sliced crunchy lettuce leaves
  • 2 spring onions, sliced thinly
  • 150g feta, crumbled
  • 100 gm hazelnuts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin

Dressing

  • 100ml buttermilk, see substitute in notes below

Instructions

  • Salad dressing: Combine buttermilk, sour cream, dill and 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin in a jar and shake until combined. Add a pinch of salt and some cracked pepper. Shake again, taste and add more salt if necessary.
