Recipes tips
If you’re looking to switch up the flavor of this dressing, try adding some of these ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
When whisking the ingredients together, be sure to use a bowl that is large enough to prevent spills. You can also use a whisk attachment on a hand mixer or stand mixer to make this process easier.
For a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of buttermilk by 1/4 cup. For a thinner dressing, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Be sure to taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your liking. If you prefer a stronger garlic or onion flavor, feel free to add more powder. And if you’re a fan of spice, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper!
