Helpful Tips
- Use full-fat mayonnaise and sour cream for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Let the dressing chill for at least 30 minutes if you have time so the herbs can fully hydrate and the flavors meld.
- Add the milk slowly, starting with 2 tablespoons, until you reach the consistency you like.
