Ingredients

Scale

1 cup mayonnaise (homemade or store bought both work)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice, white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs – dill, parsley, and chives are all excellent options or substitute with 1 tablespoon of any of the same dried herbs
1-3 tablespoons of water to thin, more or less as needed

Instructions

Add everything except water to a bowl. In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and herbs.
Thin with water. Thin with 1-2 tablespoons water until desired consistency is reached. You can always add more so I recommend starting with less and adding more as needed.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve or store in the refrigerator until ready to use!
