Equipment

Large bowl
Whisk

Ingredients

½ cup buttermilk (120mL)
⅓ cup sour cream (80g)
⅓ cup mayonnaise (80g)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Season with more salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

Notes

The dressing will thicken again after it has chilled. Simply shake it up and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to warm up a touch. Or thin it out by adding a splash of buttermilk or water.
