GARLIC AND HERB BUTTERMILK DRESSING RECIPE



Garlic And Herb Buttermilk Dressing Recipe image

Provided by sulli5301

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups real mayonnaise
2 Tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped and divided
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp dried dill weed or 1/2 tsp fresh

Steps:

  • Whisk together the buttermilk and mayonnaise, then add the rest of the ingredients and seasonings. Whisk the mixture until the ingredients are fully incorporated and no lumps remain. When chopping the fresh chives and parsley, I recommend that you finely chop them so they'll incorporate evenly and the flavors will be released into the dressing. Reserve 1 tsp of the chopped chives for garnishing the top. Chill well for at least 4 hours before serving. Yield: Approx. 2 1/2 cups

Tips:

  • Choose the right herbs: The best herbs for garlic herb dressing are those that are fresh, flavorful, and have a strong aroma. Some good options include parsley, chives, basil, thyme, and oregano.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic is essential for a flavorful dressing. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use jarred garlic, but be sure to use less of it.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: Garlic herb dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dressing. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season the dressing to taste: Be sure to season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Garlic herb dressing is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for salads, grilled vegetables, and even pasta. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy dressing that will impress your family and friends.
