This is a super-simple salad dressing with cream and white balsamic vinegar. It tastes great with all sorts of leafy greens. I use sunflower oil or any other plain oil. Olive oil has too strong a taste.

1-2-3 CREAMY DRESSING BASE



1-2-3 Creamy Dressing Base image

Obviously not a light recipe. I plan to experiment with low-fat/fat-free ingredients, but for now this is my go-to dressing recipe. I use this as a base and adjust seasonings and amounts for the vinegar and buttermilk based on the purpose of the dressing (salad, dip, spread). It's a extremely versatile and better than anything we've tried from a jar. Try the Spicy Ranch version as a dip for french fries.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
