This salad and its’ accompanying dressing are the perfect counterpoint to a rich spring meal. We had it with braised beef short ribs and mashed potatoes, but it would pair with a vegetarian or seafood main just as well. The sweet maple syrup cuts through the creamy tang of the buttermilk —Shalini

I'm obsessed with finding the next perfect recipe for my life. Usually this involves chocolate, children's lunch ideas, and family dinners. Occasionally there's a taste or texture I can't get out of my head, and it's got to be made, bought or sourced soon. I'm in Toronto with a toddler, a teen, and a husband who cooks!
