1 In a bowl, combine the sour cream, ¼ cup buttermilk, mayonnaise, fresh herbs, garlic, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, salt, and about 5 twists of black pepper. Whisk to combine.
2 Taste, and add up to ¼ cup more buttermilk if you desire a thinner, more drizzly consistency. Add up to 1 teaspoon more lemon juice if you would like more zing, and/or more pepper to kick it up a notch.
3 This dressing tastes great immediately and even better after a 10-minute rest. Use as desired, and store leftovers in an air-tight jar in the refrigerator, covered, for 5 to 7 days.
