| 1. | In a large jar, combine the plain yogurt, buttermilk, and mayonnaise. Add in the finely chopped parsley, chopped chives, thinly sliced green onion tops, coarsely ground fresh black pepper, dried basil, dried tarragon, dried leaf thyme, salt, and paprika. Secure the lid tightly on the jar. |
| 2. | Shake the jar vigorously to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together. Ensure that the dressing is well blended and all the flavors are evenly distributed. |
| 3. | Place the jar of dressing in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the taste of the dressing. |
| 4. | After chilling, remove the dressing from the refrigerator and give it a good shake once again to recombine any separated ingredients. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more black pepper or salt to suit your preference. |
| 5. | Once the dressing is perfectly seasoned to your liking, it’s ready to serve! Drizzle generously over your favorite salad greens and enjoy the creamy, peppery goodness. Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. |
