Herb Buttermilk Dressing

I don't know about you but I am just not ready for fall yet.  I love everything about summer: pool time, cookouts, fireflies, drippy ice cream cones, icy cold beverages you get the idea!  I think one of my main loves is fresh fruits and veggies!  I find it hard to make really good meals in the middle of winter because the fruits and veggies are just not at their peak.  I also love I mean love a good salad I could eat them everyday, no joke!  Over the weekend I made some herb compound butter with the leftover herbs I decided to make this dressing.  Don't get me wrong I make homemade dressing all the time but I have always made vinaigrette.  This was my first time to make a creamy dressing.  Let me tell you it is amazing!!  It made our salad come alive with so much flavor!  Before summer is over you must give this a try I promise you won't be buying the bottled stuff!  Enjoy!
