1. Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients and equipment.
2. Combine Ingredients
In a food processor or blender, combine the buttermilk, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, olive oil, and fresh parsley leaves. Blend until you get a smooth, uniform dressing with a creamy texture.
3. Chill the Dressing
Pour the dressing into a sealed glass container and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken slightly.
Blend in one ripe avocado for a richer, thicker texture and an extra hit of creaminess. Ideal as a dressing for a hearty chicken or shrimp salad.
Crumble in some blue cheese for a robust and tangy blue cheese dressing, perfect for wedge salads or buffalo wings.
Add dill, onion powder, and a bit more garlic to turn this into a classic ranch dressing. Perfect for salads, as a dip for veggies, or as a spread for sandwiches.
Reduce the buttermilk slightly and add grated cucumber, dill, and a touch more garlic. This would go great with Greek gyros or as a refreshing dip.
Swap out the parsley for cilantro, and use lime juice instead of lemon or vinegar. This variant pairs wonderfully with Mexican-inspired dishes.
Use fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to provide the right amount of acidity. Taste and adjust accordingly for a zippy contrast to the creamy base.
Allow flavors to meld by making the dressing at least 30 minutes before serving, or refrigerate overnight for improved taste.
Utilize the freshest herbs possible for a brighter, more potent flavor. Homegrown or farmer's market herbs are ideal.
Gradually season with salt and pepper, tasting as you go. The dressing should be well-seasoned to complement the salad components.
Start with less dressing than needed and toss the salad right before serving to maintain freshness and crunch.
