Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

  • Before you start, gather all your ingredients. This ensures a smooth cooking process. Check your pantry and refrigerator.

Step 2: Measure and Mix

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup creamy sour cream, 1/2 cup smooth mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup tangy buttermilk. Whisk them together until smooth.

Step 3: Add Fresh Herbs and Garlic

  • Next, add 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, 1 tbsp freshly chopped dill, 1 tbsp minced fresh chives, and 1 clove finely minced garlic into the bowl. Stir until everything is combined.

Step 4: Season the Sauce

  • Add 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, then season with freshly cracked black pepper and smoked sea salt to taste. Stir again.

Step 5: Include Capers and Mustard

  • Finally, mix in 1 tbsp minced capers and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. These ingredients will give your sauce that extra zing.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

  • Now comes the most enjoyable part. Taste your sauce! Adjust any seasoning as necessary, whether that be salt, pepper, or a tad more lemon juice.

Step 7: Chill

  • For the best flavor, let the sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.

  • Fresh Herbs: Fresh ingredients yield the best results. Try to use fresh herbs whenever possible.
  • Mix It Up: Feel free to play with the ingredients. Want it hotter? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve in a small bowl with a side of crispy fries or chicken strips.
  • Storage: Keep leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to one week.
