Notes

Dried herbs may be substituted for fresh herbs. Simply substitute with 2 Tbsp. each of dried dill, parsley, and chives for fresh if desired.

If you like a thicker, creamier dressing use ¼ cup of buttermilk instead of ½ cup. If you like a thinner dressing add a bit more buttermilk to thin it out.
