Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, salsa, and seasonings into a small mixing bowl.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to fully incorporate everything.
- Let the dressing sit for about 5 minutes so the dried chives can soften and the flavors blend together.
- Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Use a thick salsa for the creamiest consistency. Thin salsas will produce a looser dressing.
- Stir the salsa well before measuring to evenly distribute the solids and liquid.
- Choose a mild, medium, or hot salsa based on your preferred spice level, as the salsa determines the heat of the finished dressing.
- Fresh chives can be substituted for dried chives if preferred. Finely chop them before adding to the dressing.
