Notes
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes 2 portions.
- SERVING: To serve one person, arrange the salad leaves in a bowl and pour the flavored kefir over them. Serve it as a side dish, light snack, or even a light dinner. For the best enjoyment, chill the dressed salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
- This salad is especially perfect for hot summer days, offering a refreshing and cool treat.
- The key ingredient in this recipe is good quality buttermilk lettuce. If it's not freshly picked, remove the outer layer of leaves, as they can be bitter. The inner leaves are the best tasting and have the crunchiest texture.
- To give the dressing a sharper taste, add a bit of ground pepper.
