• to 1-3 to juice to taste approximately 1-3 teaspoons, adjust to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together the mayo, sour cream and milk until smooth. Add the spices and whisk until combined. Add the lemon and whisk again. Pour into a jar and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This dressing will keep nicely in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy!

Notes
I frequently swap plain white vinegar for the fresh lemon juice in this recipe. Both acids work beautifully to provide the perfect amount of tang in the dressing.

I never have buttermilk on hand, but I do sour milk with a tblsp of either lemom juice or vinegar. Let the milk sour for about 15 minutes or so, and then, follow the recipe instructions.
