    Cherry Tomatoes with Creamy Buttermilk Dip

    Source of Recipe

    From "Southern Snacks" by Perre Coleman Magness

    Recipe Introduction

    "Sweet cherry tomatoes are wonderful little snack bites, and they grow like gangbusters in a Southern garden — even my brown thumb can produce them. Pile up a platter or bowl with different colors and shapes of lovely small tomatoes and serve a bowl of luscious, creamy Southern buttermilk dip alongside. As always, look out for a good, thick, and tangy local buttermilk."

    List of Ingredients

    â—¦ ¾ cup whole buttermilk
    â—¦ ½ cup mayonnaise, preferably Duke's
    â—¦ ¼ cup sour cream
    â—¦ 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
    â—¦ 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
    â—¦ 1 clove garlic, finely minced
    â—¦ Generous grinds of black pepper
    â—¦ Kosher salt to taste
    â—¦ 4 pints cherry tomatoes, rinsed and dried

    Recipe

    For the dip, whisk the buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream together until smooth. Add the herbs and garlic and stir to combine. Stir in a generous amount of black pepper, then add salt to taste. Cover the dip and refrigerate for several hours or up to a day.

    Serve with the cherry tomatoes.


    Makes about 1 ½ cups dip
