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
- Choose a thick salsa: Thick salsa helps maintain the intended consistency of the dressing, while very thin salsa can make the mixture looser.
- Stir the salsa before measuring: Liquid often settles in jars of salsa, so stirring first ensures you measure an even mixture of solids and juices.
- Select the heat level carefully: The salsa determines how mild or spicy the finished dressing will be.
- Substitute fresh chives when available: Finely chopped fresh chives can replace dried chives for a brighter onion flavor.
