Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Juice of 1 lemon large
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill minced or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives minced or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley minced or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup buttermilk or more as needed for consistency

Instructions

  • Chop herbs finely.
  • Juice the lemon.
  • In a medium bowl combine the mayo and sour cream.
  • Add the herbs, spices, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  • Slowly add the buttermilk while stirring until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Transfer to an air tight storage container or jar with lid and store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Notes

  • If you don’t have fresh chives, parsley, dill, and garlic feel free to use dried herbs. Just use half the amount as dried herbs are stronger.
  • Substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt if you like.
  • Add in a pinch of onion powder for more flavor.
  • A dash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce is a great way to kick it up a bit.
  • You can always use regular milk instead of buttermilk if you prefer or don’t have it.
