Best Kefir Buttermilk Salad Dressing Recipes

KEFIR "BUTTERMILK" SALAD DRESSING

Kefir

Adapted from a recipe from The Gourmet Cookbook. Original recipe used buttermilk, I have substituted plain kefir and made a couple of other minor changes. The final product is a healthier, lighter, "buttermilk" style dressing.

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup kefir
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 minced garlic clove
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped
kosher salt
black pepper

Steps:

Put all of the ingredients, except the olive oil in a blender or food processor. Puree until all ingredients are well incorporated. Drizzle in the olive oil while processing. Continue to blend for another 20 seconds or so.
Best if refrigerated overnight, as it allows the dressing to thicken slightly, and the flavors to mingle. I have, however, used it right out of the blender and it still tastes great.
