Tips
- Use high-quality, full-fat mayonnaise and sour cream for the richest, creamiest texture.
- Let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop and blend.
- For extra freshness, you can add a tablespoon of fresh chopped chives or parsley if you have them on hand.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
- Taste and adjust seasonings gradually – you can always add more, but you can't take away.
- Store in an airtight container and give it a good shake or stir before each use to redistribute the herbs and spices.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt while maintaining the keto-friendly profile.
