1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon cold water

7 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream (Cabot Light preferred)
2 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced (greens and whites)
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh Italian parsley, minced

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, use a fork to stir together the mustard and cold water, to form a paste. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Then add the remaining dressing ingredients to the bowl and, using a hand mixer at low speed or a whisk, blend together just until smooth, do NOT overmix.
Cover and refrigerate until use.
