I love ranch dressing. Who knew making it would be so easy and delicious to make.
A little effort and this tastes much better than what comes out of the bottles. And you know what it is in it!

2 heads of butter lettuce, picked into bite-sized pieces
2 heads of other baby lettuces, picked into bite-sized pieces
2 c. baby spinach
3 ribs of celery (including leaves), thinly sliced diagonally including leaves
½ bunch of radishes, sliced and cut into match sticks
1 c. green beans, blanched and diagonally sliced into ½-inch pieces
2 carrots, peeled and then peeled into individual ribbons
3 baby cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 c. fresh peas (or frozen and thawed, if not available)
3 spring onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal – white and pale green parts
Dressing
1 clove garlic, finely chopped and pasted
1 T. dill, finely chopped
3 T. chives, finely chopped
3 T. flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 t. lemon juice
1 c. full-fat buttermilk
¼ c. mayonnaise
¼ c. plain Greek yogurt
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients and whisk together or shake in a sealed bowl; taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper, as necessary.
To blanch the green beans, bring a small saucepan of well-salted water to a boil; add the green beans and cook for about 1 minute;
Remove the green beans and transfer to an ice bath (bowl of ice and water) to stop the cooking process and set the color; when cool all the way through, remove and dry; cut on diagonal into ½-inch segments.
Combine all ingredients, except peas and spring onions, into a very large bowl; toss with dressing and transfer to a platter.
Sprinkle the top of the salad with the peas and spring onions; enjoy
