Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup dry buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup of sour cream (you can use regular or light)

Instructions

  • Combine all of the dry ingredients in a resealable container.
  • Stir 3 tablespoons of the dry mix into the sour cream. You can serve the dip immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigerate the remaining dry mix for future use.

Notes

Make Ahead: The dry mix can be stored for months in the refrigerator. The dip can be made up to 3 days in advance.
Little Helpers: Let your kids help you collect all the herbs and spices from your cabinet and do the measuring and stirring. My kids like to smell each spice before they add it in.
