Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

In a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, chopped fresh dill, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Give the dressing a good stir before serving.

Use within 5 days.

Notes

Make sure to use high-quality mayonnaise and sour cream for the best flavor and texture. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice.

Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using.

Fresh dill is a must for the best flavor, but you can use dried dill weed as a substitute if you can’t find fresh. Start with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and onion powder, and adjust to taste, as some people prefer a stronger flavor.

If you’re planning to store the dressing in the fridge for a few days, consider making a half batch to ensure freshness.

Give the dressing a good stir before serving, as the ingredients may settle at the bottom of the container.
