Step 6- Serve it with your favorite dishes.

1- Use fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh herbs and spices. This will ensure that your dressing has a vibrant and aromatic taste.

2- Adjust the consistency: If you prefer a thicker dressing, you can add a little more mayonnaise. If you like it thinner, simply add a bit more buttermilk. Adjust the consistency to your liking.

3- Let it chill: After mixing the ingredients, refrigerate the dressing for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dressing to thicken slightly.

4- Customize the flavors: Feel free to experiment with the seasonings. If you like a stronger garlic flavor, add an extra pinch of garlic powder. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle in some cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
