Ingredients
  • 2 heads lettuce (green leaf, red leaf, romaine, frisee, doesn't really matter)
  • 1/4 cup sliced pickled radish
  • 8 pickled garlic-scape tops (or other pickled vegetable of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chardonnay (or other white wine) vinegar
  • 1/3 cup parsley
  • 1/3 cup chives
  • 1 tablespoon garlic scapes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
  1. Heat a grill to high heat.
  2. Split lettuce heads in half; try to do it in a way that keeps as many leaves on each side as you can.
  3. Brush the split lettuce heads with olive oil and grill 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. Whisk dressing ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  5. Top with pickled radishes and garlic scapes, then top with dressing (go easy on the dressing — you’ll likely use about half of it, and the rest is good for a week after that).
