NOTES

• This dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

• Whole milk can be substituted for buttermilk, and dried herbs and onion powder can be substituted for the fresh ingredients in winter or in a pinch.

• If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice or swap in plain white vinegar. Both acids work beautifully to provide the perfect amount of tang in the dressing.
