Buttermilk Dill Salad Dressing

This salad has me sneaking into my kitchen at all hours to dunk veggies into it.  That involves me sneaking into the kitchen and forgoing banana bread, macaroons, 3 pounds of jelly beans, and my all time favorite S'mores Goldfish Crackers.  So I do give this dressing a good amount of credit.  It's cool and creamy (but low in fat!), and the dill and the garlic are a great combination.  This is great tossed over a simple iceberg lettuce salad, but I'm sure that fancier lettuces would not complain too much.  If you want to use this as a dip (and I suggest you try that too!), use 1/3 cup buttermilk instead of 1/2 cup.  Also, this is good and garlicky, which is fabulous for me.  If you want to be a little more polite around company, than just use 1 clove, not the two!
