Your favorite salad in open-sandwich form. We love the variety of flavors that herbes de Provence lend to this recipe (you could even make your own with your favorite herbs!), and it nicely complements most meats and fish, but you can use dried thyme if you don't have any. Buttermilk lends creaminess and tang to this salad dressing. If it’s not something you keep on hand, try the same amount of plain fat-free yogurt instead.
