Description
Make a creamy, herbaceous dressing that tastes like your favorite restaurant version using fresh herbs and common pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, packed
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk in a blender or food processor.
- Add the fresh parsley, chives, tarragon, lemon juice, and white wine vinegar to the blender.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Blend on high speed until the dressing is completely smooth and uniformly green. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Taste the dressing and adjust salt or lemon juice if necessary.
- Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a thinner consistency, add more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired pourable texture.
- This dressing works well as a dip for raw vegetables or as a sauce for grilled chicken.
- If you do not have fresh tarragon, you can substitute it with 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon, but the fresh flavor is better.
