Buttermilk mayonnaise, ranch-style
Mayonnaise
I've been making David Leite's milk mayonnaise as my homemade mayo for a while now, mostly because it comes together more easily for me than an egg mayo, but also because I love the brilliant white color. I noticed one time when I forgot to add the lemon juice before blending that the mixture didn't thicken up until I added some acid. The next time I had some buttermilk on hand I decided to give it a go as the base, as it is both emulsified and acidified. Lo and behold, it worked, and it makes a great base for an herbed dressing or dip. Now instead of mixing the right ratios of mayo, buttermilk, and yogurt for a ranch dip I just emulsify it all together.
