Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups packed fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, chives; optional basil or cilantro)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 to 3 anchovy fillets (or 1 tablespoon capers for vegetarian option)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 to 2 scallions or 1/4 cup chives
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional add-ins: 1 small ripe avocado, 1/2 jalapeño, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the herbs well. Remove tough stems from parsley and tarragon. Roughly chop herbs and scallions.
  2. Juice the lemon and zest a little of the peel. Peel the garlic. Drain anchovies or capers.
  3. Add mayo and sour cream (or yogurt) to a blender or food processor.
  4. Add herbs, scallions, lemon juice and zest, garlic, and anchovies or capers. Sprinkle in salt and pepper.
  5. Blend until very smooth. If it’s too thick, blend in 1 to 3 tablespoons cold water or a little olive oil.
  6. Chill the dressing for 30 minutes in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld.
  7. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and lemon. Serve as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce.

Notes

Use classic herbs or swap in your favorites. For a thinner consistency, add water or olive oil gradually as desired.
