This salad was just ok. The buttermilk dressing was a bit bland and the herbs were not very flavorful. The walnuts were also a bit chewy. I would not make this salad again.

The salad was not bad, but it was not great either. The buttermilk dressing was a bit too thick and the herbs were not very fresh. The walnuts were also a bit chewy. Overall, it was an ok salad, but I would not make it again.

This salad was terrible! The buttermilk dressing was sour and the herbs were wilted. The walnuts were also moldy and the strawberries were rotten. I would not recommend this salad to anyone.

Easy and refreshing salad, perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. I used a mix of butter lettuce and arugula and added some grilled chicken for extra protein. The buttermilk dressing was light and flavorful, and the herbs added a nice touch. Will defi
