To serve this Dressing, What I have done today is, I took Pasta, Asparagus, corn, peas, and water in the Instant Pot. And pressure cooked it for 4 minutes under high pressure, quick release the pressure, let it cool down completely and toss it in this simple dressing. Easy peasy! And the taste was out of the world.

Depending on a taste, you may want to add more or less lemon juice, a little bit at a time to your taste preference.

You may substitute lemon juice with apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar too.

This dressing can be stored in an air-tight container up to a week.

To make a thinner dressing add some water, around 2 tbsp while blending.

If you want to make this dressing vegan, replace sour cream with vegan sour cream or vegan yogurt.

I haven't used anchovies, as I am vegetarian, and didn't replace it with any other ingredients. But if you want to, you can use Miso Paste instead of Anchovies.

To make it healthy, Use 3/4 cup Greek yogurt instead of mayo and sour cream. Or simply add 1 small avocado and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt instead of mayo and sour cream.
