Marra's Light Citrus Buttermilk Salad Dressing image

Inspired by lainey's Recipe #261991 I made my own giving it a citrus twist as well as other things. You can switch the lime for lemon, orange or tangerine as well. The lime not only gives it a wonderful flavor but also thickens the buttermilk further.
