   Combine mayonnaise, sour cream or greek yogurt, milk or buttermilk, grated garlic, lemon juice or white vinegar, dried dill, dried parsley, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.

   Note

   Greek yogurt works as a lighter substitute for sour cream. Buttermilk adds a tangier flavor than regular milk.
