Buttermilk is a traditional base for creamy dressings. This classic-style dressing is similar to ranch making it a great topping for a salad or dipping sauce for cut fresh vegetable. Here we assemble the best vegetables of spring in a brightly colored salad full or crunch and veggie deliciousness. Serve as a start to a larger meal or arrange in a large shallow bowl and serve for a nice brunch. Top with grilled chicken or shrimp for a dinner main. Ready in under 20 minutes, you can have this any night of the week. Sub in any colorful vegetable you like for your perfect combination.
