Mix together 2 tablespoons each of marjoram, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and basil, along with approximately 1 teaspoon each of sage and savory to create Italian seasoning.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 cup of sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic.

Add salt and pepper to taste into the mixture and mix well until combined.

In a separate bowl, take the Italian seasoning and mix it with 1 teaspoon of parsley and approximately 2 tablespoons of water, then let it soak for a couple of minutes.

After soaking, add the Italian herb mixture into the mayonnaise and sour cream mixture and stir until well combined.

Transfer the dip into a container and refrigerate overnight to allow it to firm up and enhance the flavors.

After 24 hours, remove the dip from the refrigerator and check the consistency; it should be firm but not too runny.
