Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the crumbled bacon, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
If using, add the finely chopped chives for a hint of freshness and color.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, by adding more salt or pepper to preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
