Creamy Lime-Cilantro Buttermilk Dressing

This Latin riff on ranch dressing swaps in lime juice for the traditional lemon juice and mixes in cumin, cayenne, and cilantro. It’s a particularly good with sweet jicama matchsticks. But quartered radishes, young carrots, Persian cucumbers, endive, and shrimp are all great dipping companions, too.

 

2 cups

This will keep in the refrigerator for about one week.

  1. In a large bowl, whisk mayonnaise and sour cream together. Then whisk in the buttermilk and remaining ingredients.
