Tips:

  • For a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of heavy cream by 1/4 cup.
  • If you don’t have fresh chives on hand, you can use dried chives instead. Just add 1/2 teaspoon to the dressing.
  • This dressing is also great as a dip for vegetables, chicken wings, or even keto-friendly crackers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
