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.
