- Use a food processor or blender to finely chop the garlic and chives for a smoother dressing consistency.
- Lightly toast the bread crumbs in a skillet with a little olive oil for added crunch and flavor.
- For a healthier option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream in the dressing.
