Fall Vegetable Salad With Caraway Vinaigrette
By ltrodrigu
Once you've dressed this cabbage and root-vegetable salad from Herbsaint in New Orleans, reserve the remaining buttermilk-based vinaigrette for later use. It makes a great dip for chips and crudités.

- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
