Adapted from a recipe from the gourmet cookbook. original recipe used buttermilk, i have substituted plain kefir and made a couple of other minor changes. the final product is a healthier, lighter, buttermilk" style dressing."

Steps

---

Put all of the ingredients , except the olive oil in a blender or food processor.

---

Puree until all ingredients are well incorporated.

---

Drizzle in the olive oil while processing.

---

Continue to blend for another 20 seconds or so.

---

Best if refrigerated overnight , as it allows the dressing to thicken slightly , and the flavors to mingle.

---

I have , however , used it right out of the blender and it still tastes great.
