I really enjoyed this and plan to make again and again. Will be great for summer; very fresh and bright tasting. I used for "green" salad. Would also make a great dip for crudite. I only had low fat mayo (not fat free) on hand, and I pureed it in the food processor instead of whisking by hand. Great texture!
Herbed Lemon-Buttermilk Dressing
This all-purpose dressing is similar to ranch dressing. It's great as a marinade on chicken, dressing on salad, and dip with cut-up vegetables.
