Note

**Storage:** The dry seasoning mix can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. Once mixed with mayonnaise and buttermilk, the dressing must be refrigerated and consumed within 1 week.

**Substitutions:** If you do not have Accent (chicken bouillon powder), you can substitute with an equal amount of chicken bouillon granules or salt-free chicken bouillon powder. For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.

**Tips:** Taste the dressing before serving and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the dressing is too thick, add a splash of milk or water. If too thin, add a bit more mayonnaise.
