1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder

Add the dressing ingredients to a large bowl, or a mason jar.
½ cup Mayonnaise, ½ cup Sour cream, ½ cup Whole milk, 1 teaspoon Lemon zest, ½ Lemon, 2 tablespoon Fresh dill, 2 tablespoon Fresh chives, 1 teaspoon Garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Onion powder, ½ teaspoon Black pepper, Salt

Notes

Adjust the consistency: Add more or less milk to the dressing to get your desired consistency. If you are looking to make a ranch dip, you can omit the milk altogether.

If using dry herbs: Reduce the quantity of the herbs if using dry herbs. The flavor can be more concentrated in dried herbs and can overpower the dressing if too much is added.

Be generous with salt: Salt is important in this dressing. It brings all of the flavors out and makes them shine, and also works in hand with the acid from the lemon.
