Ingredients
  

  • 3 teaspoons Fresh dill leaves finely chopped
  • 3 teaspoons Fresh parlsey leaves finely chopped
  • 3 teaspoons Green onions or scallions. Chives work great if you can find them. finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise good quality
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream full fat
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt Mortons
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 teaspoon White wine vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Pickle juice
  • 4 tablespoons Dill pickles finely chopped
  • 4 drops Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot
  • 2 teaspoons Milk optional to thin the dressing

Instructions
 

  • Use the leaves of parsley and dill. Chop the fresh herbs finely.
  • Next up are the scallions. I used the middle part of the scallion. A little bit of the white part and the center green part. The scallion should be minced or chopped finely.
  • The dill pickle should be finely chopped also.
  • Now it's time for the dressing. Using a small bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, herbs, pickles, onion, garlic powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
  • Add the white wine vinegar and pickle juice, and mix well with a fork.
  • Mix in the chopped dill pickle and a few drops of hot sauce. Taste and adjust the hot sauce.
  • If you prefer a thinner dressing, add milk to thin the dressing if needed.
  • Chill the dressing for a couple of hours. You'll thank me later. And the best part is that this dressing only gets better with time.
