Add more buttermilk if you want it to be runny.

Add 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley (or cilantro) to the mixture.

Incorporate 2 teaspoons of dill and 2 teaspoons of chive.

Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

Pulse everything together until well combined.

Add spices: 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Adjust seasoning by adding more salt if needed.

Garnish with a little smoked paprika and a dash of pepper.

Transfer the dressing to a ball jar for storage.

Seal the jar or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours to thicken and enhance flavors.
