Buttermilk Mustard Dressing

Skip the bottled stuff. This homemade buttermilk dressing comes together in minutes and tastes like a completely different category of salad topping.

Buttermilk and low-fat yogurt create a creamy base without the heaviness, while Dijon mustard adds a sharp bite. Grated cucumber brings cool freshness, and dual citrus zest from lemon and orange lifts the whole thing into something bright and vibrant.

It’s naturally low in fat and diabetic-friendly, but you’d never know it from the flavor.

Drizzle it over crisp greens, use it as a dip for crudites, or thin it out slightly for a marinade.

Chef Tips

• Peel and seed the cucumber before grating. Seeds add excess water that thins the dressing.
• Let it chill at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors meld and the dressing thickens slightly.
• Keeps well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Give it a good stir before using.
