Ingredients
Buttermilk Dressing:
Method
Place eggs in saucepan; add enough cold water to come 1 inch (2.5 cm) above eggs. Bring to boil. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 20 minutes. Drain and chill eggs under cold water, draining and refilling pan as necessary to keep water cold. Working with hands underwater, peel off shells. Cut eggs into quarters; set aside.
Meanwhile, in saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook green beans until tender-crisp, 7 minutes. Drain; chill in ice water. Drain, pat dry and set aside.
Spread spinach leaves on large chilled platter or 4 salad plates. Attractively arrange chickpeas, tomatoes, green beans and eggs over top.
Buttermilk Dressing: In small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, dill, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle over salad.
