  1. Gina, What can I use as a (dairy free) substitute for the yogurt? (can't use sour cream either). I can eat mayo and I'm going to substitute lactose milk and vinegar for the buttermilk. Thanks!

    This was perfect for last night's main dish salad. I subbed cilantro and lime for the parsley and lemon, and threw in half of a seeded jalapeño. Was a bit short on chives, so some red onion worked as a stand-in. And finally, used full fat plain yogurt. Thanks for such wonderful inspiration!!!

  3. This is wonderful! Light and fresh and flavorful!!!! I did not have parsley so I used cilantro! YUMMO!

  4. This looks amazing I will be making it soon. We are overflowing with cucumbers right now! Have you tried this with fresh dill?

  5. What type of light mayo do you use? I have light mayo in my fridge but it is 5 grams of fat for 1 tablespoon. Does this sound like yours? I just want to make sure that I don't increase the number of points!

  6. For a 1/4 of a cup of milk, put maybe 1-2 tsp of vinegar or lemon to make buttermilk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. I like lots of vinegar and like to watch it curdle to buttermilk!

  7. I made this today with vinegar and milk instead of buttermilk. It's awesome! It doesn't even taste low fat.

  8. This dressing is great! I actually liked this one more than the cilantro lime dressing. Thanks for another wonderful recipe 🙂

  9. Made this today and love it! It's so light and crisp. It tastes like summer to me! I love that your dressings are so light that a serving is a 1/4 cup. That's huge, love it! I don't know that I'm ever going to buy bottled again.
