Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a blender.  Blend until smooth and emulsified. (See tips below to make without a blender.) Add more buttermilk if the dressing is too thick.
    1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 2 teaspoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon dried chives, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, Pepper
  • Taste, and season with more salt or pepper, if needed.
  • Pour into a jar and chill until needed.

Notes

Don’t have a blender or don’t want to drag it out? Put all of your ingredients into a mason jar, tighten the lid, and shake until combined. You can also whisk everything in a bowl, but I find the the mason jar method works better.
SUBSTITUTIONS: For best results, do not substitute in low fat ingredients. You can use them, but the flavor and consistency of the dressing will be altered. You can add less buttermilk for a thicker dressing (for dipping) or add more buttermilk if you want a thinner consistency.
STORE: Stored in the refrigerator, this dressing will last up to 2 weeks, although we try to use it up in about a week.
