Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 water packed artichoke hearts, rinsed and chopped
1/4 small onion, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon tamari or 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon minced parsley

Steps:

  • Into a food processor all ingredients go-whirl till smooth.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the herbs and garlic. Fresh ingredients will give your dressing the best flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't over-blend the dressing. You want it to be creamy, but not too thick. If you over-blend it, it will become too thick and difficult to pour.
  • Taste the dressing as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more garlic, herbs, or salt and pepper.
  • Serve the dressing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This creamy Italian garlic dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on salads, pasta, or grilled meats. It's also a great dipping sauce for vegetables or bread. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and garlicky aroma, this dressing is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
