Ingredients
- 2 heads Bibb lettuce
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Garlic clove, minced

Instructions
Rinse the Bibb lettuce under cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, black pepper, salt, and minced garlic. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
Stir in the chopped chives, ensuring the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the dressing. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
In a large salad bowl, layer the torn Bibb lettuce, sliced radishes, and sliced cucumber.
Drizzle the buttermilk pepper dressing evenly over the salad. Toss gently to coat the vegetables without bruising the lettuce.
If desired, sprinkle croutons on top for added crunch.
