Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground mustard powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar. Whisk again until the sugar dissolves completely into the creamy base.
Sprinkle in the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, ground black pepper, salt, and ground mustard powder. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Add less water for a thicker dip or more for a thinner dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., adding more salt or sugar to suit your preference).
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or jar. For the best flavor, let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Use as a salad dressing, dip for veggies, or a drizzle over your favorite fried chicken. Store in the refrigerator and consume within 5-7 days.
