Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 1/4 cup Buttermilk
- 1/4 cup fresh Parsley, packed
- 2 tablespoons fresh Chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh Tarragon
- 1 tablespoon fresh Dill
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add the fresh parsley, chives, tarragon, and dill to the mixture. Pulse until the herbs are finely chopped and incorporated, but do not over-process to keep some texture.
- Add the minced garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Blend briefly to combine all seasonings.
- Taste the dressing and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed for your preference.
- Transfer the dressing to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully meld.
Notes
- For a thinner dressing, add buttermilk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- If you do not have fresh tarragon, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, but the fresh flavor is better for a copycat recipe.
- This dressing thickens considerably as it chills; stir well before serving.
