- •2 cups mixed garden greens (arugula, bibb lettuce, and baby spinach)
- •4 red radishes, paper-thinly sliced
- •1/2 cup heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
- •1/4 cup cold buttermilk

Instructions

- 4In a wide, shallow serving bowl, arrange the garden greens as a lush base.
- 5Scatter the sliced radishes and cherry tomatoes over the greens to provide a vibrant crunch and acidity.
- 6Carefully slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and nestle them atop the salad greens.
- 7Drizzle the herb-flecked buttermilk ranch dressing generously over the eggs and vegetables.
- 8Finish by dusting the eggs with smoked paprika and sprinkling the entire bowl with flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper for a gourmet touch.
