Buttermilk Salad Dressing

Creamy salad dressings made with canola oil creep me out.  This one is much healthier, and tastes better than anything I’ve bought at a grocery store.  (It’s based on a recipe from the original Moosewood Cookbook.  The buttermilk available here is 1% fat, and produced by introducing bacteria to milk rather than being the traditional kind left behind from churning butter.  It is low in fat, and probiotic, so relatively healthy.

  • ¾ c buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp herbes de Provençe
  • lots of fresh ground black pepper

Put all in a small jar and stir thoroughly.  Use within a few weeks.
