Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice and mix well to incorporate.
Fold in the fresh parsley, dill, and chives to infuse the dressing with fresh herb flavors.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until all the spices are evenly distributed.
Optional: Stir in the hot sauce for an extra spicy kick, adjusting to your desired heat level.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, gradually add water (1 tablespoon at a time) while whisking, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a salad dressing, dip for raw vegetables, or drizzle over grilled meats. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
