Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¼ to ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chives fresh, minced
  • 1 garlic or half of 1 large clove, small clove
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients with ¼ cup of the buttermilk to a blender. Puree for about 10 seconds to combine. Check the consistency and add additional buttermilk a couple tablespoons at a time if you desire a thinner dressing.
  2. Store in a glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.

Notes

  • Nutritional values are based on 1 cup of dressing.
  • Mayonnaise and Sour Cream: Full-fat versions of both of these give the best flavor and texture. Low-fat versions will water down the dressing, both in taste and texture.
  • Lemon juice: You can substitute for lime juice or white vinegar if you don’t have any lemon juice.
  • Herbs: You can mix and match the herbs you use. You can also try dill, cilantro, and parsley. Onion powder is also a great addition!
  • Blender: Use your favorite blender or food processor to make this dressing.
  • Variations: Read the article above for some ideas on how to jazz up this dressing to add different flavors!
  • Storage: The dressing can be stored in a glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. It can thicken up in the fridge, so if you want to thin it out again, add a small drop of buttermilk or regular milk and give it a stir.
