Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 Small glass jar or container

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup buttermilk or regular milk
  • ½ tablespoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 ½ tablespoons blackened seasoning or the DIY mix below
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

DIY Blackened Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk together until smooth.
  • Add the seasoning and salt to the bowl and whisk until combined. Add the lemon and whisk again to combine.
  • Transfer to a smaller container or jar and chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.

Notes

  • Always use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and consistency. I recommend that you use freshly-squeezed lemon juice over store-bought for a brighter, fresher taste.
  • Adjust the heat according to your preference. Use less blackened seasoning for mild heat and more for a spicier kick.
  • Adjust the consistency of the sauce. Add more mayo or use less buttermilk for a thicker consistency and add more buttermilk  for a pourable sauce.
  • Always taste and adjust as needed before serving.
  • Chill for 1 hour to overnight to allow the flavors to come together, resulting in a more flavorful sauce.
  • Add fresh herbs  like dill, parsley, or chives if preferred for an extra layer of flavor and freshness.
Serve: Serve with dippers as an appetizer or a snack, use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps, and as a dressing for salads. Drizzle on top pizza or homemade rice meals.
Store: Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Do not store it in the freezer.
