  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup buttermilk (more as needed)
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo (more to taste)
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
