Buttermilk-Herb Dressing

June 11, 2012 by Faith 19 Comments

Buttermilk-Herb Dressing

Recently after I made Scallop-Herb Salad, I started craving ranch dressing.

Herbs

But I didn’t really want ranch dressing, at least not the bottled kind…I wanted something made with fresh herbs and real buttermilk. Something I can pair with veggies straight from the garden and grilled chicken or fish on a summer evening and call it dinner, or serve with crudités and have an easy appetizer.

This dressing is simple, delicious, and perfect.

    Hi,
    Would normal milk suffice?
    How long does this keep for?
    Thanks

      Stephanie, Buttermilk is a little thicker than regular milk, so it adds a creamier consistency and also a little bit of tang. This recipe will definitely work with regular milk, the dressing will just be a little thinner with less of a tangy flavor.

    I have long made my own buttermilk ranch dressing, but never with greek yogurt! I think that would add delectable tang and texture.

    Oh I wish I wasn’t eating dairy free right now, but I’m going to pin this for the future. A homemade ranch dressing is right for certain salads. Wouldn’t this be good on boiled potatoes too?
