💡Tips & Tricks
- Roasted garlic: I have instructions in the recipe for both oven-roasted and air fryer roasted garlic. I like to make several batches of roasted garlic because it’s an easy way to add flavor to foods.
- Acidity: This dressing has a delicious creamy/tangy flavor. To make it less tangy, you can add more mayo or less red wine vinegar. I’d keep the buttermilk, as it contributes to the texture.
- Buttermilk: You can make your own homemade buttermilk for this recipe by combining milk with either lemon juice or white vinegar (full instructions on recipe card below).
