Test Kitchen Tips

Go for freshly squeezed lemon juice when preparing this summery dressing. Bottled lemon juice, which is from concentrate, won’t provide the same bright, fresh flavor.

Instead of buying buttermilk, you can place 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup and add enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. Or you can substitute 1 cup of plain yogurt for the buttermilk.
