Tips:

  • Choose the right buttermilk: For the best flavor, use fresh buttermilk. You can also use powdered buttermilk, but be sure to reconstitute it according to the package directions.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your dressing the best flavor. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't over-mix the dressing: Over-mixing the dressing will make it thick and clumpy. Simply whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  • Taste the dressing before serving: Be sure to taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
  • Use the dressing right away: Buttermilk dressing is best when used right away. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
