This versatile dressing combines rich mayonnaise and tangy sour cream as its base, perfectly balanced with Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and a touch of sweetness from sugar. Aromatic seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly chopped chives add layers of savory depth, while an optional splash of milk ensures the perfect drizzle-worthy consistency. Ideal for topping crisp greens, this classic dressing is easy to prepare and even better after a quick chill in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or meal-prepping for the week, this creamy salad dressing is a must-try addition to your recipe repertoire.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well blended.
Add the Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and sugar to the bowl. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is fully incorporated.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Stir in the finely chopped chives for a fresh and herby touch.
If the dressing is too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar for your preferred flavor balance.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled over your favorite salad greens, and enjoy!
