  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, buttermilk, and mayonnaise. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add the lime juice, minced garlic, chipotle powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk again until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a little more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
  • For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

This dressing is delicious on salads, as a dip for vegetables or chips, or even as a sauce for tacos and burritos.
