If whatever you’re serving needs a cool-creamy-crunchy side, try this refreshing offbeat salad. Grilled steaks, burgers, poultry, and seafood all pair well with the tangy buttermilk dressing. We love it with Bison Burgers with Chipotle Ketchup, Mesquite Lime Chicken (both versions), and Grilled Shrimp with Smoky Barbecue Rub. It’s quick and easy, and the recipe can be doubled for a small crowd. Tip: If you can find frozen black-eyed peas, follow the package instructions and use them instead of canned. They’re much closer to home-cooked.
