  • 1 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped (dried: 1 tsp)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped (dried: 1 tsp)
  • 2 tsp fresh dill chopped (dried: 3/4 tsp)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (or 1 tbsp finely grated sweet onion)
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice for brightness

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, and sour cream until smooth.

  • Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Stir before serving. Adjust consistency with milk if needed.
