Ingredients

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup real mayo
  • 1-2 Tablespoons freshly cracked peppercorns, depending on how spicy you like it
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ cup buttermilk + more to thin to your liking

Instructions

  • Roughly crack the peppercorns by placing in a heavy duty zip tight back, sealing, then hitting with a rolling pin or meat mallet to break them up into coarse pieces.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together well.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to combine.

Notes

  • Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream as a substitute.
  • If using finely ground black pepper, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
