Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (NOT salt)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (NOT salt)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (fresh, see note)
  • ⅓ cup cilantro (fresh, see note)
  • 3 tablespoons chives (fresh, see note)
  • 1 lime, juiced (Add in juice from another lime if you really love the lime zing!)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • Pour in enough milk to make the dressing the consistency you like.
  • Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your preference.

Notes

Herb Substitution: You can use dried herbs if you don't have fresh ones. If you're using dried, use half the amount listed in the recipe card. However, DO NOT use dried cilantro, the recipe will not turn out well. 
Herb Combinations: Feel free to experiment with different herb combinations based on what you have available or prefer. Fresh dill, basil, or even mint can create interesting variations.
Texture Preference: For an ultra-smooth dressing, use a food processor or immersion blender instead of whisking by hand. Hand-whisking creates a more rustic texture that many people prefer.
Storage: Store this dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best quality.
