Elevate your salads and sides with the creamy, herbaceous delight of Plantation Dressing! This homemade buttermilk dressing combines the richness of mayonnaise with fresh parsley, chives, and dill for a bright and vibrant flavor profile. A subtle tang from white vinegar and Dijon mustard is perfectly balanced with a touch of honey, while freshly minced garlic adds a savory depth. Customizable with a dash of cayenne for a hint of heat, this quick 10-minute recipe is as versatile as it is delicious. Perfect as a salad dressing, dip, or drizzle over roasted veggies, Plantation Dressing is a must-try for anyone seeking a fresh twist on classic ranch-style flavors.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the white vinegar, minced garlic, honey, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Continue whisking until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Stir in the fresh parsley, chives, and dill. Mix well to distribute the herbs throughout the dressing.
Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Transfer the dressing to a lidded container or jar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the dressing a good stir. Serve chilled over salads, roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce.
