Buttermilk gives a fresh, tangy flavour to the dressing. It is liquid left from the butter-churning process and is widely sold. A good substitute if you can't souce it for this new potato salad is to mix a tablespoon of yoghurt with a tablespoon of milk, or, for a thinner consistency, mix a tablespoon of lemon juice into a cup of milk and let stand for five minutes.
