Tips & Variations
Pro Tips
- • For an extra-creamy texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt and mayonnaise.
- • Let the dressing chill for at least 1 hour—the flavor deepens and the texture thickens.
- • Use a mix of fresh herbs for best flavor, but dried can work in a pinch (use 1/3 the amount).
- • If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a splash more buttermilk or milk.
- • Roast garlic in advance and store in the fridge to speed up prep time.
Storage
- • Refrigerator: Up to 1-2 weeks in airtight container
- • Freezer: Up to 3 months (thaw overnight in fridge)
- • Best Practice: Store in glass jars for longer freshness
Recipe Variations
- • For a tangier dressing, swap buttermilk for sour cream and increase lemon juice to 3 tablespoons.
- • Add 2 anchovy fillets or 1 tablespoon grated parmesan for a Caesar-style twist.
- • Blend in 1 small avocado for a richer, green-hued version (try this with our <a href="/recipes/thermomix-creamy-avocado-cilantro-lime-dressing">Thermomix Creamy Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing</a> too).
