Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 -2 garlic clove, minced fine (depending on how strong you want your dressing)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (mediterranean)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • In a blender or food processor, whirl all the ingredients except the buttermilk for one minute.
  • With the blender running, slowly pour in the buttermilk and blend until thick and creamy (turn off the blender as soon as the dressing thickens or it may curdle).
  • Chill at least 1 hour so the flavours meld.
  • Refrigerate, tightly covered.
  • This makes nearly 2 cups of dressing and stays fresh for 3-4 days.
  • If the dressing separates, just give it a whizz in the blender again.
