Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons minced fresh chives and/or scallions
2 teaspoons anchovy paste, or 1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons mild vinegar, such as white-wine vinegar or tarragon vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, smashed and minced
Buttermilk or milk (optional)

Steps:

In a large bowl or blender, whisk or blend all the ingredients except the buttermilk. Add just enough buttermilk to thin to the desired consistency, if needed. Pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to combine. Shake well before using. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Tips:

For a tangier dressing, use buttermilk instead of sour cream.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs per 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.
To make a vegan version of this dressing, use vegan sour cream and mayonnaise.
This dressing can be used as a dip for vegetables, as a spread for sandwiches, or as a marinade for chicken or fish.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
