Recipe Tips

Herbs. Feel free to use fresh or dried herbs. I usually use dried chives, parsley, and dill because it’s more convenient.

Buttermilk. I know buttermilk can be tricky to find in some places, but you can make your own homemade buttermilk by mixing whole milk and vinegar. Check out my recipe forEasy Homemade Buttermilk Substitute [Video].

Full fat. I recommend using full-fat mayo, sour cream, and buttermilk. It’s what gives the dressing that creamy base and rich flavors. You can always swap for lighter alternatives; it just may change the taste a bit.

Consistency. You can adjust the consistency to your liking. For a thicker dressing to dip with veggies, use less buttermilk. For a thinner salad dressing consistency, use more buttermilk. I recommend adding a little at a time until the dressing has reached your desired consistency. If the dressing thickens up too much while in the fridge, just mix in some extra buttermilk.

Let sit. I usually let my dressing chill in the fridge for a few minutes to help the flavors marry together. The longer it sits, the more flavor it will have. But if you are short of time, you can use it as soon as you make it.
