Buttermilk Dressing Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, divided
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Combine Aromatics and Seasoning: In the bottom of a medium bowl, mix the freshly pressed garlic clove, salt, and fresh lemon juice thoroughly to release the flavors and create a flavorful base.
- Add Main Ingredients: To the bowl, add 1/2 cup of buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, pepper, dried dill, and finely chopped fresh chives. Whisk everything well until the mixture is smooth and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk while whisking until the dressing reaches your desired consistency—creamy yet pourable.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Enjoy with your favorite salad or as a dip.
Notes
- Pressing the garlic clove helps release more flavor into the dressing.
- Adjust the amount of buttermilk to get your preferred thickness for the dressing.
- For a fresher taste, use freshly chopped dill instead of dried if available.
- Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- This dressing pairs well with green salads, vegetable platters, and grilled meats.
