The blend of mayonnaise, sour cream, and fresh herbs creates a creamy texture and a burst of flavor that elevates any dish. Plus, the use of a blender ensures a smooth consistency, making it a foolproof recipe for anyone.
Ingredient notes
- You can substitute sour cream with crème fraîche if you prefer.
- The cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt are estimated amounts; adjust to your taste.
- Be cautious with the salt since anchovies are already salty.
Tips from Food Wishes's video
- Using a regular blender is recommended for the best texture, but a food processor or immersion blender can work too.
- Chop the garlic and herbs before adding them to the blender for smoother blending and to prevent fibrous herbs from wrapping around the blades.
- Taste the dressing before serving to adjust the seasoning as needed.
