Serves 4
DRESSING
| 6 | tablespoons plain Greek yogurt |
|---|---|
| ½ | cup buttermilk |
| 2 | tablespoons olive oil |
| 1 | tablespoon lemon juice |
| 1 | teaspoon honey |
| 1 | tablespoon chopped fresh chives |
| Salt and pepper, to taste |
1. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, buttermilk, oil, lemon juice, honey, chives, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix well and set aside.
SALAD
| 4 | eggs |
|---|---|
| 1 | head Boston lettuce, cored and torn into bite-size pieces |
| 1 | handful sweet pea shoots or other spring lettuce mix |
| 1 | leftover ham steak, cut into matchsticks |
| 1 | green apple, halved and thinly sliced |
| 1 | bunch radishes, thinly sliced |
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Lower in the eggs and simmer them for 10 minutes. Lift out the eggs and transfer to a bowl of very cold water. Crack and peel off a strip of shell. Let the eggs cool completely. Remove the remaining shell and pat the eggs dry. Quarter them.
2. In a salad bowl, combine the lettuce, pea shoots, eggs, ham, apple, and radishes. Add dressing and toss gently. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if you like.
