Ingredients to Make Your Salad Sparkle

Here’s what you’ll need to gather before we embark on this delicious adventure:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (feel free to use the light version if you’re trying to impress your scale)
  • 1 cup sour cream (because sometimes you need a lil’ tang in your life)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for that zesty zing!)
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (the magic potion for great flavor!)
  • 1 clove garlic (the more, the merrier, right?)
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives (fine-diced, so they’re not trying to steal the show)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (the green confetti of our party)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (just a pinch, not a whole handful!)

Let’s Get That Dressing Whipping!

Now that we’ve got our ingredients lined up like good little soldiers, it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty of making this dressing fabulous:

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Whisk them together until they form a creamy masterpiece (you should be impressed).
  2. Add in the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. This is where the magic starts; give it another whisk or two.
  3. Next, grab that garlic and throw it in there. Chop it up real fine if you don’t want to bite into a giant clove later. We’re after harmonious flavors here!
  4. Toss in the chives and parsley, and whisk it all together. You want it to look like a beautiful green dream!
  5. Lastly, sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste. Mix once more until everything is wonderfully combined.
