In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened dairy-free mayonnaise and unsweetened almond milk. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Add the apple cider vinegar to the bowl, and mix thoroughly to create a tangy base for the dressing.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly incorporated.
Add the fresh lemon juice and mix again to brighten the flavors.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley for a touch of freshness and herby flavor.
If you prefer additional heat, stir in the optional hot sauce at this stage and taste to adjust as needed.
Transfer the dressing to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, dip, or drizzle. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
