Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the heavy cream and whisk until it begins to thicken slightly. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Add the mayonnaise to the bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour in the white vinegar and lemon juice, and whisk again to incorporate these ingredients fully.
Add the Dijon mustard and honey to the bowl. Whisk until the flavors are well blended into the cream mixture.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Whisk to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Finally, add the finely chopped fresh chives to the dressing. Stir gently to incorporate the chives without overly agitating the mixture, preserving the creamy texture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or honey based on your taste preference.
Transfer the cream dressing to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use.
