Calories: 11kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon white pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 tablespoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon
- dash Worcestershire
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Combine the seasonings. First, mix salt, white pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and cayenne together. It's important to mix them thoroughly so one spice doesn't clump up.
- Add the wet ingredients. Add the following wet ingredients to the bowl. Then, whisk all the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Refrigerate and store. Transfer the dressing to a clean container. Refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors blend. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
Fresh spices really impact the flavor. Make sure to check the expiration dates of your spices and replace any old ones for the best-tasting dressing.
Choose good quality mayonnaise and sour cream for a creamier and richer dressing. Full-fat versions usually give the best texture and taste.
If you want it spicier, add a little extra cayenne pepper. If you prefer it milder, start with less and adjust to your taste.
This dressing is versatile. You can use it as a dip for chicken wings, a spread for sandwiches, or a sauce for grilled veggies.
