Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 3-4 tablespoons Frank’s RedHot Original or your favorite hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon buttermilk powder or use 1-2 T buttermilk
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tablespoon fresh chopped dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • ½ tablespoon finely chopped chives
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add sour cream, mayonnaise, Frank's, buttermilk powder or buttermilk, onion powder, and garlic powder to a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. The buttermilk powder hydrates quickly.
  • Add the herbs, salt and pepper the whisk smooth. Allow the dressing to stand for 10-30 minutes for the flavors to blend, then serve as desired.
    Adjust the thickness of the dressing with a little milk to thin, or to thicken for a dip, add more buttermilk powder or sour cream and whisk smooth.

Notes

About buttermilk powder: it's a terrific ingredients to have in your pantry! No buying a quart of fresh buttermilk and tossing most of it. Just reconstitute when needed. The package says mix with water but I prefer to use milk. 
Storage – Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
