Classic Tangy Sour Cream Dressing

Ingredients

½ cupfull-fat sour cream
4 tbspwhite vinegar
4 tbspextra-virgin olive oil
4 tspDijon mustard
2 clovegarlic cloves, crushed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Scoop the sour cream into a small mixing bowl and give it a few gentle stirs with a whisk or fork. This breaks up any stubborn lumps and creates a smooth base for your dressing.
Pour in the vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard, then add the crushed garlic. Whisk everything together until completely smooth — the mixture should look creamy and uniform with no streaks of mustard visible.
Give the dressing a taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. The vinegar should provide good tang without being harsh, and the mustard should add subtle warmth rather than overwhelming heat.
