- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon White sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and combined.
Add the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and sugar to the bowl. Whisk vigorously until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
If a thinner consistency is desired, whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your preferred thickness.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or a touch of honey for sweetness, if preferred.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use as a dressing for coleslaw, macaroni salad, or any other dish that calls for a creamy and flavorful sauce. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
