Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Method
 

  1. Whisk together mayonnaise and sour cream in a medium bowl until completely smooth and lump-free.
  2. Add minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to your cream base. Whisk vigorously until everything combines into a pale, unified mixture.
  3. Stir in fresh lemon juice and red wine vinegar to add brightness and tangy bite.
  4. Mix in anchovy paste if using, salt, and black pepper. Taste as you go to ensure bold flavor.
  5. Fold in fresh chives for color and mild onion flavor.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

Perfect for Sunday meal prep - make a double batch and store in small mason jars. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Store in airtight container for up to one week - flavors actually improve after the first day. Don't freeze as the creamy base will separate. Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream, garlic powder for fresh garlic, or make dairy-free with vegan mayo and coconut cream.
