Step by Step

  1. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, ¼ cup buttermilk, mayonnaise, fresh herbs, garlic, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, salt, and about 5 twists of black pepper. Whisk to combine.

  2. Taste, and add up to ¼ cup more buttermilk if you desire a thinner, more drizzly consistency. Add up to 1 teaspoon more lemon juice if you would like more zing, and/or more pepper to kick it up a notch.

Notes:

Let rest for 10 mins to let the flavors merge. Can be stored up to 7 days in the fridge.

You can use cracked black peppercorns, finely chopped jalepeno or Sriracha sauce to add some heat to creamy dressing.
