Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 120 g mayo 1/2 cup - Chosen Foods is my go-to
- 120 g sour cream 1/2 cup - Good Culture brand is delicious
- 60 g buttermilk 1/4 cup - Kalona Supernatural Milk Dairy
- 5 g Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp
- 6 g salt 1 tsp
- Black pepper crack or two from the grinder
- 3 g garlic powder 1 tsp - Frontier Coop
- 2.5 g onion powder 1 tsp - Frontier Coop
- 5 ml white or apple cider vinegar 1 tsp
- 5 ml lemon juice 1 tsp
Fresh Herb Option
- 3 g finely chopped fresh dill 1 rounded tablespoon
- 4 g finely chopped fresh parsley 1 rounded tablespoon
- 4 g dried chives 2 tablespoons, rubbed between hands to break up
Dried Herb Option (My Go-To!)
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2-3 tablespoons dried chives rubbed between hands to break up
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours to allow flavors to blend. The flavor develops and improves after sitting!
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
Both fresh and dried herb versions are delicious! Use whatever you have on hand.
For a thinner consistency (ranch dressing), add more buttermilk.
For a thicker consistency, add more sour cream or mayo.
Rub dried herbs between your hands before adding to release their oils and maximize flavor.
The dip gets even better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours - the flavors really develop!
