Preparation
- Step 1
Put mayonnaise, buttermilk and buttermilk powder in a medium jar with a tight-fitting lid. Sprinkle with a little salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Add chives or parsley if you like, put lid on, and shake jar vigorously for 30 seconds or so.
- Step 2
Taste and adjust seasoning. Use immediately or refrigerate for a few days. It will keep longer if you do not add the fresh herbs.

Outstanding. One tip: find a local source of really good buttermilk. I used a whole milk buttermilk from Kimberton Whole Foods. I stuck with salt and freshly ground pepper, and fresh chives from the garden. I did not use the powdered buttermilk--just mayonnaise, buttermilk and seasoning.
Deejay, I'd say that it adds both body or thickness and extra tang. I'd try either adding a few tablespoons of regular powdered milk and a squeeze of lemon juice, if you have those things, or just leave it out. A little plain Greek yogurt might do the trick, too.
I like fresh dill and a smidgen of garlic.
