KEFIR "BUTTERMILK" SALAD DRESSING



Kefir

Adapted from a recipe from The Gourmet Cookbook. Original recipe used buttermilk, I have substituted plain kefir and made a couple of other minor changes. The final product is a healthier, lighter, "buttermilk" style dressing.

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup kefir
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 minced garlic clove
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped
kosher salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Put all of the ingredients, except the olive oil in a blender or food processor. Puree until all ingredients are well incorporated. Drizzle in the olive oil while processing. Continue to blend for another 20 seconds or so.
  • Best if refrigerated overnight, as it allows the dressing to thicken slightly, and the flavors to mingle. I have, however, used it right out of the blender and it still tastes great.

BUTTERMILK GREEN GODDESS SLAW



Buttermilk Green Goddess Slaw image

This herby coleslaw variation was adapted from "The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook" (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013) by Diane St. Clair. In it, a tangy buttermilk- and avocado-spiked green goddess dressing takes the place of the usual mayonnaise mix, for a slaw that's both lighter and fresher tasting. Like most coleslaws, it gets better as it sits so, if you have time, plan to make it a few hours ahead. Save any extra dressing to use as a dip for cut vegetables or for other salads. It will keep for up to two days in the fridge.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

2 oil-packed anchovy fillets
2 scallions, sliced
1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves and tender stems

4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1/2 a small head)
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, seeded, if desired, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Put avocado, buttermilk, lemon juice, anchovy, scallions, garlic, parsley, chives, tarragon, olive oil and basil in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth and uniformly green, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the slaw: In a large bowl, combine cabbage, scallions, jalapeño and cilantro. Pour 1 cup of green goddess dressing over slaw and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with more cilantro before serving. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Toss again before serving, adding more dressing if you like. Leftover dressing will keep for another day or two in the fridge.
