Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream, and ½ cup full-fat buttermilk until completely smooth.
Add 1 teaspoon white vinegar, ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder or MSG if using. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Overnight is preferred.
Taste and adjust salt as needed. If thicker than desired after chilling, whisk in extra buttermilk a teaspoon at a time. Serve cold.

Recipe Notes

Make it Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free mayo, dairy-free sour cream, and substitute buttermilk with ½ cup unsweetened oat milk mixed with 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar.

Make it a Thicker Dip: Reduce buttermilk to ¼ cup for a dip-ready consistency perfect for veggies and chicken tenders.
