Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Whole black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Crush the whole black peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Aim for a coarse texture to maintain the peppery crunch.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth.
Add the crushed black peppercorns, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and salt to the bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
If the dressing is too thick for your preference, stir in water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled over fresh greens, as a dip for vegetables, or as a condiment for sandwiches.
