Prep Notes

As always...use all organic when possible.

You can split the recipe if you don't want to have much extra. If your kids can't eat vegetables without a sauce, this is a great dipping sauce. I play around with this recipe as I don't always use all three dairy products. Sometimes I use yogurt and a little mayo or sour cream as it depends on what's in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise..like Primal Kitchen avocado oil based
1/2 cup whole milk organic sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup organic whole milk
3/4 - 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/8 teaspoon finely cracked pepper
freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste approximately 1-3 teaspoons, adjust to taste

Instructions

Whisk together the mayo, sour cream and milk until smooth. Add the spices and whisk until combined. Add the lemon and whisk again. Pour into a jar and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This dressing will keep nicely in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy!

Notes

I frequently swap plain white vinegar for the fresh lemon juice in this recipe. Both acids work beautifully to provide the perfect amount of tang in the dressing.
