Ingredients
  

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional for a hint of smokiness)

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, mash the avocado until smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture if desired.

    Add the Greek yogurt and buttermilk to the mashed avocado, mixing until well incorporated and creamy.

      Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined and smooth.

        Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

          If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually whisk in extra buttermilk until desired thickness is achieved.

            Transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish.

              Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The flavors will develop and intensify after chilling.
