NOTES
Could I substitute something else for the heavy cream? Maybe use more mayo???
I’d sub the heavy cream with half sour cream and half mayo with maybe a splash of water. I hope that helps!
Hi, this looks and sounds fantastic. I am going to make this tomorrow for my very, very picky husband. How do you think this would come out with fresh lemon juice instead of the vinegar? I don’t have wine vinegar in the house, but I have plenty of lemons. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
Hi Laura! Do you have any vinegar at all, even red wine or apple cider vinegar? If not, you can try just using just lemons, but I’d cut it back to maybe 1-2 tablespoons. I would try 1 tablespoon first, taste it and see if it needs more. I sometimes make a very simple vinegrette using olive oil and fresh lemon juice, so I’m betting it will still taste great using just lemons! If you can, please let me know how it turns out 🙂
Thanks for the quick response. We used up all the vinegar in the house the other day. I always have fresh lemons as I make a lemon salad most nights for dinner, (olive oil and fresh lemon) Thanks for the ratios on the lemon, I will probably make this tomorrow night or the next night. I will let you know how it turns out. Can’t wait to have it, with your cobb salad. (Hubby does not like ranch, LOL)
My husband loved it even though I read the recipe wrong and put way to much garlic in it, LOL… I used the juice of a whole lemon. It was absolutely delicious!! Thank you!! Making it again tomorrow. Making a Mediterranean type salad. Couple of hard boiled eggs, roman lettuce, Cucumbers, Roasted Red Peppers, un-marinated artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, black olives, some feta cheese and this fab dressing served with two forks!!
Hi Laura,
Truth be told, I add a little extra garlic in mine too, in fact I just made another batch on Monday! Your salad sounds divine, I absolutely love kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, feta cheese and roasted red peppers! I hope you enjoy the next batch, thanks for letting me know you liked the dressing. Of all the dressings I make, this one is definitely my favorite 🙂
