Like ranch dressing, this lesser-known classic hails from California. Use with robust greens, such as romaine, drizzle over roasted vegetables, or serve with crudités.
Combine in a medium bowl:
- 1 cup mayonnaise, store-bought or homemade
- 1 garlic clove, minced or grated on a rasp grater
- 3 anchovy fillets, minced
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup minced chives or green onions
- ¼ cup minced parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tarragon or white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
Taste and adjust the seasonings. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
