This creamy salad dressing is a delicious blend of sour cream with vinegar and seasonings. Feel free to add some fresh chopped chives, a little dill weed, or fresh basil for extra color and flavor.

This is a simple dressing, but a nice one for a basic tossed salad or a heartier salad with beef or chicken. You could also try it with a simple chicken or steak salad.

The recipe makes about 1/2 cup of salad dressing and is easily doubled or tripled.
