Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, low sodium mayonnaise, and buttermilk. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
