Basil Buttermilk Salad Dressing

October 17, 2011 By admin 7 comments

Basil Buttermilk Salad Dressing is a simple homemade salad dressing, packed with fresh garden basil. 

I woke up this morning with such a craving for Ranch dressing and carrots. Don’t laugh, it’s true. But not just any Ranch…. I wanted my basil buttermilk salad dressing!

This salad dressing recipe is so simple to make, it is something I almost always have on hand. After you have made your own salad dressing, it is hard to buy the bottled kind again. I can’t argue it’s convenience, but to me I prefer the few minutes it take to make it homemade.

Basil Buttermilk Salad Dressing

The base of the basil buttermilk salad dressing is buttermilk, of course, but also sour cream. I use low fat, but any kind will work. Once you have that base to work with, the flavor combinations are endless. If you don’t have fresh basil on hand, you can add chives or tarragon, or really any fresh herbs. If you want to kick up the flavor of the dressing to a whole new level, you can add a teaspoon of dried taco seasoning or some finely chopped ancho chiles in adobo sauce.

I hope you like this fresh basil buttermilk salad dressing recipe!

    I make a lot of oil based dressings, but never a ranch dressing! This is fabulous & I'm very excited that all the ingredients on this one are recognizable as food! Thanks Heather :)

    Ooo now that could be addicting. I love making my own dressing and once in awhile my beloved baby carrots like a friend! I bet this would be good in place of mayo on a sandwich too!
