Parsley Buttermilk and Parmesan Cheese Salad Dressing

Does your family crave creamy salad dressings over a tangy vinaigrette? If so Parsley Buttermilk and Parmesan Cheese Salad Dressing is calling out to you, so why not give it a try?

Sometimes only a creamy dressing will do! 

Especially when offering salad to children. A vinaigrette is often too strong or "sour" if you were to ask your favorite young diner "How is that, do you like it?" 

Fortunately, Parsley Buttermilk and Parmesan Cheese Salad Dressing is easy to make, tastes great and nutritious with fresh parsley (one of my favorite ingredients to work with!). Which is available year-round. Parsley is an excellent source of antioxidants, along with vitamins A K, and C. 

Plus this salad dressing is also a great dunk for crisp vegetables or to serve alongside steamed artichokes for a first course. There is always more than one way to get those vegetables on the table and into your meal plans!

Not only is this salad dressing adaptable, so is how to serve it!

Parsley Buttermilk and Parmesan Cheese Salad Dressing goes great drizzled over crisp Romaine, with cherry tomatoes, and shredded carrots! And of course, during the time when Romaine is not available, try Tuscan Kale with shredded carrots. The colors are beautiful together! 

Out of buttermilk? No problem, feel free to substitute half yogurt and fresh milk or sour cream and fresh milk. This delicious and beautiful creamy salad dressing is really perfect for those salad days ahead! Which are good for us all.
