(Alternatively, if you want the dressing completely smooth, blend all of the ingredients except for the chives in a food processor, then stir in the chives.) Notes If you don't have buttermilk (or don't want to buy a whole carton), use sour cream or yogurt (Greek or regular) thinned with milk to a thick but pourable consistency
