1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Notes

For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of buttermilk or add a little Greek yogurt.

Letting the dressing chill for at least 30 minutes deepens the flavor—don’t skip this step!

Adjust the herbs and garlic to your preference, or add a dash of cayenne for a spicy kick.
