Did you use a stick blender?
AshleyThompson
Yes, but you can also use a traditional blender for this recipe.

I made this tonight and it was way too salty and garlicy. I saved it though! I added more sour cream to also help thicken it up, it was way too runny. I also added some mayo. If I make this again, I will cut back on the 6 cloves of garlic and use a 1/2t salt and also start with 1/8 cup of water. I did use a half of a jalapeno.

It’s so addictive isn’t it? I eat it with a spoon sometimes

Good flavor, but very runny, not really creamy.

This looks so good! Do you think I could substitute Hellmann's vegan mayo for the sour cream/greek yogurt, or would that change the flavor too much?
Thanks!
Heather Schmitt
I think substituting mayo would be fine but will change the texture more to a store bought creamy salad dressing 🙂

This and the Easy Asian Peanut Dressing both look great and so easy! I'm curious, do you know how long they'll last in the fridge, or do you eat most/all of it in one meal?
URVASHI PITRE
Mine have been in the fridge for over a week and they seem to be doing great. I think the peanut one will last longer. The cilantro one I'd eat within a week if possible.
