Buttermilk & Chive Dressing
A tangy, herby buttermilk dressing that comes together in one shake of a jar - creamy without being heavy.
Makes: About 1 ½ cups
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: None
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
1 lemon, juiced and zested
1 garlic clove, cracked
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chives, finely sliced
salt and pepper
METHOD
Put all the ingredients into a jar with a lid.
Secure the lid and shake vigorously to combine.
Add to salads when needed. Store in the fridge for a week.
HINTS
Cracking the garlic rather than mincing it gives a gentle background note - fish it out before serving if you want it milder still.
This is the creamy foil to a sharp vinaigrette - it loves crisp lettuce, chicken, potatoes and anything charred off the barbecue.
It keeps for a week; give it a shake each time as the buttermilk separates.
