Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Combine 1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup buttermilk, 4 tablespoons honey, 1 ½ teaspoons dried chives, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon red chili flakes, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon dry mustard, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Using a whisk, mix all the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and fully combined, ensuring that the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the creamy base.

Notes
- Use hot honey for an extra spicy kick instead of regular honey.
- If the dressing is too thick, thin it out with additional buttermilk a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
- The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days when stored properly in an airtight container.
- Adjust the level of heat by varying the amount of cayenne pepper and red chili flakes according to your preference.
