Recipe ingredients and notes:

• The characteristic buttermilk flavor in this sauce is intensified by a little bit of sour cream, mayonnaise, salt and lemon juice.
• Onion powder adds great flavor and umami and works exceptionally well with the fresh dill flavor in this recipe.
• I don't recommend substituting dried dill (dill weed) for the fresh dill in this recipe. Dill weed works great in dry seasonings (like this dill garlic spice blend) but its flavor suffers when it's rehydrated with liquid.
