- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Whisk together until smooth.

Add the apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and honey. Whisk well until evenly combined.
Stir in the dried Italian seasoning, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend for 30 seconds.
