Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and dried parsley, thoroughly combining all the spices into the yogurt mixture.
Add the apple cider vinegar, fresh lime juice, honey, and ground black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings as needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually add more buttermilk.
