    1 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/2 cup buttermilk
    1/2 tsp. dried chives
    1/2 tsp. dried parsley
    1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
    1/4 tsp. garlic powder
    1/4 tsp. onion powder
    1/8 tsp. salt
    1/8 tsp. black pepper

    Mix all ingredients together. Chill for 30 minutes or longer to let flavors blend.

    If you want it more like ranch dip, replace the 1/2 cup butter milk with 1/2 cup sour cream. If you want it lower in fat, replace the sour cream with plain yogurt. If it's not as liquid as you would like make it with 1 cup buttermilk and leave out the sour cream.
