Combine all ingredients and grind in a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Once fully pulverized, set aside. The spice blend is good for up to 4 months.
Dill Pickle Ranch Dressing
Combine all ingredients together. If desired, the dressing can be blended or mixed in a food processor. If your buttermilk is fresh - the dressing stores in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. See notes.
Assembly
If you're making your own breadcrumbs, bake the stale bread tossed in melted butter at 350 until slightly crispy. Let cool and mix them in a food processor until they're the texture of small pebbles.
Remove the stems from the kale and slice all of the vegetables into small (½ inch - 1 inch) pieces. Break up the feta and add it to the vegetables along with the breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined.
Once ready to plate, pour 1 tablespoon of the spice blend and ½ cup of dressing over the salad. Mix until thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.
Serve immediately. The mixed salad is good for 1-2 days in the fridge.
Notes
This recipe is enough for 2 meal sized servings or 4 side servings.
