Ingredients

• 1 cup Mayonnaise

• 0.25 cup Buttermilk
• 2 whole (or 2 tablespoons of sauce only for less spice) Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

• 1 teaspoon Dried dill
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Add mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.

Step 2

Finely mince the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or use a small food processor to create a paste. Add the minced peppers or adobo sauce to the bowl.

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, ground black pepper, salt, lime juice, and honey (if using) to the bowl.

Step 4

Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the dressing is smooth.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary (add more lime juice for tang, honey for sweetness, or chipotle peppers for more heat).

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a dressing for salads or as a dip for vegetables, chips, or other snacks.
