  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup

Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup minced Italian flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse freshly cracked peppercorns
  • 1 clove garlic paste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, red wine vinegar, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, minced parsley, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic paste until a smooth, creamy dressing forms.
  2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing and season with salt and additional pepper if desired to enhance the flavor.
  3. Thin Dressing if Needed: If the dressing is too thick, gradually thin it out by adding water one ounce at a time, whisking between additions, until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the dressing immediately on salads or store in the refrigerator for later use.

Notes

  • Use freshly cracked peppercorns for the best flavor and texture.
  • If garlic paste is unavailable, finely mince a fresh garlic clove.
  • The dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • To make it lighter, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt and reduce sour cream slightly.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, use a food processor or blender to combine ingredients.
