Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise The creamy base for smoothness and richness.
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk For tang and a light texture.
Seasoning Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds depth and flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Enhances the overall taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried dill Imparts a herby freshness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances and balances flavors.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper For a touch of heat and earthiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and buttermilk until smooth.
  2. Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Whisk together until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

For a thicker dressing, use less buttermilk. Substitute Greek yogurt for a tangy and protein-rich twist. Prepare it a day in advance for even richer taste.
