Ingredients and Substitutions

Low-fat mayo: Provides a creamy, rich base for this dip. You can also swap the low-fat mayo for Greek yogurt.
Low-fat buttermilk: Adds that signature tangy flavor and helps thin out the dip to the perfect consistency.
Chives: Fresh minced chives give this dip a mild onion flavor with a hint of freshness.
Vinegar: You can use rice vinegar or red wine vinegar. Either one works great!
Seasonings: I used garlic powder and onion powder but feel free to add any other seasonings you think would taste great.

Dietary Adaptations

GF/DF: You could skip the buttermilk and use dairy-free milk instead!
