Creamy Dill Dressing
This dressing packs a punch of flavor, perfect for
sliced cucumbers or served with poached salmon.
Allowing it to sit overnight gives the flavors a chance
to fully develop plus the consistency will thicken.
Makes about 3 cups
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise (may use light)
2
⁄
3
cup fresh dill, packed
1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon
juice
1
small shallot, about ½ ounce
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1. Place ingredients in the blender jar in order listed.
2. Blend on low for about 30 seconds and then up
to High for an additional 10 seconds until smooth.
3. Dressing can be used right away, but for the best
flavor, allow to rest for at least 30 minutes so that
flavors have the chance to blend and develop.
Note: Dressing will last up to 1 week stored in the
refrigerator.

Hollandaise Sauce
Fair warning: It is almost too easy to make this classic
and decadent sauce in the Cuisinart® blender!
Makes 1 cup
½ cup (¼ pound, 1 stick) unsalted butter
4 large egg yolks
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch ground mustard
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1. Put the butter into a saucepan set over low heat
until butter is melted and reaches a slight simmer.
2. While the butter is melting, put the remaining
ingredients into the blender jar. About a minute
before adding the butter, run the unit on Low for
about 30 seconds to combine.
3. With the blender still running on Low, carefully
remove the pour lid from the cover. Very slowly
drizzle the hot butter through the opening while
using the measuring cup or dishtowel to shield
the opening to prevent any splatter. When adding
the butter, be careful not to add the white milk
solids that will be left on the bottom of the pan.
Once all butter has been added, check
hollandaise for consistency. Use a long, skinny
spatula to stir as some yolk may have
accumulated in the well by the blade. If overall
consistency is too thick, blend in some hot water,
1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency
is achieved.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
5. Serve immediately or transfer hollandaise to a
double boiler to keep warm for serving.
