In a food processor or blender, combine the Greek yogurt, buttermilk, mayonnaise, and minced garlic.
Add the fresh parsley, chives, tarragon, and basil. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped and the mixture is smooth and green.
Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again to fully combine the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
For salad dressing, transfer the mixture to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Shake well before serving.
To make a dip variation, reduce the buttermilk to 1/4 cup to achieve a thicker consistency. Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.
