Instructions

Buttermilk Dip:

  2. Serve or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Recipe Notes

* I hardly ever buy buttermilk any more. I simply add 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and mix with 1/2 cup whole milk (3.25%) to get buttermilk made in my kitchen in about 2 seconds. 

** Wrap tightly if not serving immediately.
