Ingredients

  • ½ cup real mayonnaise
  • ½ cup thick sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried minced onion
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the mayonnaise and sour cream to a small to medium sized bowl.
  • Use a silicone or rubber spatula to fold the sour cream and mayonnaise together until smooth and uniform.
  • Add in the dried minced onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pinch of black pepper.
  • Fold the seasonings in until completely smooth.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving, if possible, to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Taste and adjust any seasonings as desired.

Notes

Storage: Keep in an airtight container or jar in the fridge. Use within 1 week.
Dairy Free: Substitute the ½ cup of sour cream for ½ cup of dairy free sour cream.
Egg Free: Substitute the mayonnaise with the same quantity of eggless mayonnaise. If you can't find it locally, here is a recipe for making your own eggless mayo.
Sour cream substitution: If you don't like sour cream, you can easily substitute it for the same amount of plain Greek yogurt. If you are looking for a salad dressing consistency, you can substitute it for cultured buttermilk.
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing: Substitute the sour cream in this recipe for cultured buttermilk. This will give it a thin, pourable consistency, which is perfect to use as a salad dressing.
