ProTips

1. Greek yogurt is a good, healthy option in place of your sour cream.
2. If you don't have buttermilk, then no worries; it's simple to make! A good rule of thumb is to mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of milk to make 1 cup of buttermilk. Combine all the ingredients and let the mixture sit for approximately 10 minutes, resulting in separated or curdled milk.

Prep Time: 5 min.; Total Time: 5 min.

 Ingredients:

• 1 C. mayonnaise
• 1 C. sour cream
• 1 C. buttermilk
• 2 tsp. dried dill weed
• 1 tsp. dried parsley
• 2 tsp. dried chives
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp. sea salt
• 1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper
• 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire (Taste and adjust to your liking.)

Directions:

1. In a medium-sized bowl, add your mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and Worcestershire. Stir to combine.
2. Next, add in your dill weed, parsley, chives, onion and garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and taste. You may need to adjust your seasonings or add a bit of lemon juice or white vinegar to boost the tang.
3. Pour everything into a quart-size mason jar and place it in the fridge. Allow your flavors to meld for a few hours.
