Creamy Sour Cream & Onion Salad Dressing Recipe (5 Minutes, 8 Ingredients) by Donna John

Sour cream, onion and me go way back. Sour cream and onion is one of my favorite dips. My grandma always had a bowl of the creamy dip on the table at any holiday gathering. But what about sour cream and onion potato chips? Talk about childhood memories. And right now my favorite chicken wing at a local restaurant is their crispy sour cream and onion wings. Oh, my. So it was no surprised that when I recipe for sour cream and onion salad dressing from NYT Cooking came through my news feed, it was on my salad that night.

This creamy homemade salad dressing has all the flavors of sour cream and onion you crave. The dressing has just a few simple ingredients and whisks together in minutes. Here is your short gluten-free shopping list for this salad dressing recipe: sour cream, red wine vinegar, onion powder, honey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce (check the label if you're on a gluten-free diet), fresh garlic and fresh chives. (Check out the health benefits of chives.)

The NYT Cooking recipe gave ingredients for the salad, but not me. Salads are personal, and depend on your tastes and, if you're like me, what you have in the fridge. I drizzled this cream sour cream-based salad dressing on shredded romaine lettuce, chopped broccoli, microgreens with more fresh chives on top. So delicious!
