I have followed Our Best Bites on social media for years and years. She just posted this recipe - with the disclaimer that she has a JUG of it in her refrigerator at all times - that sold me!! The other funny thing she said is "people will ask - can I make this with Greek Yogurt or cottage cheese for more protein? The answer is no - this is absolutely sacred." That made me laugh!!
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt like Lowreys
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
Combine all ingredients in a blender or a bowl and blend or whisk until smooth
For best results, let chill for 2 hours or more for flavors to intensify. Dressing will also thicken after being stored in the fridge.
Different mayonnaise brands produce different consistencies in this recipe. I almost always use Best Foods, so for me, about the ratio listed seems to be perfect, but that same amount is sometimes incredibly thick or incredibly thin for others. So just keep that in mind. Mix everything together and then add more buttermilk until it’s perfect for you.
All spices and herbs listed below are dried. If substituting fresh, use the ratio 1 part dry = 3 parts fresh. If using fresh herbs, blend everything except herbs first and then lightly pulse in the herbs.
Store finished dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 1 week for best results.
