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

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.
