Restaurant versions of this dressing can be lethal. Buttermilk makes ours taste just as rich but keeps it super lightdown from more than 100 calories to 30 and from 5 grams of fat to 2. For a retro-style diner treat, pour it over a wedge of iceburg lettuce; for more substance, try romaine or endive.
