Ingredients

  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives or dried
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley or dried
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill or dried
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • teaspoon salt or to taste
  • teaspoon ground pepper or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh

Instructions

  • I used a food processor to mix all my ingredients. You can also whisk them together by hand in a bowl.
  • Start with the thicker ingredients-mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk. 
  • Whisk each ingredient in until smooth.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs when possible.
  • You can substitute the lemon juice for white vinegar if needed. I have tried it both ways and they are both delicious.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
  • I use these bottles to store my salad dressing.
