Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Radish

    Thinly slice radishes and place them in a bowl. Add a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water, along with a pinch of salt. Let them pickle for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Green Goddess Dressing

    In a blender, combine fresh herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buttermilk Kajmak

    In a bowl, mix buttermilk and kajmak cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Toast the Breadcrumbs

    In a skillet, lightly toast breadcrumbs in a bit of olive oil until golden brown. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    Cut the Little Gem lettuce in half lengthwise and place the halves on a serving platter. Drizzle the green goddess dressing over the lettuce, add the pickled radishes, dollops of buttermilk kajmak, and sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the salad is fresh and crisp.
