  • Mayonnaise. We use a good real mayonnaise like Best Foods (Hellman’s).
  • Seasoning.  We add fresh garlic and green onion together with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and freshly cracked black pepper to season this dressing with. 
  • BBQ Sauce. We stir in a little bbq sauce to the mix which gives this dressing a really great barbecue flavor. We like to use Sweet Baby Ray’s Original BBQ Sauce or Stubb’s Original BBQ Sauce, but use whatever bbq sauce you like best.
  • Buttermilk. This adds flavor and thins the dressing out.  You can use milk or water if you like.
