Recipe Note
Don't want to Dip? No problem, there are so many options.
You can use this to amp up the flavours anywhere you would use mayo or sour cream.
Try spreading it on sandwich bread and wraps.Try coating your chicken or cauliflower with one of the dips before baking or barbecuing.Try using it in lieu of sour cream with baked potatoes.
Party Batch
Another way to look at it, and make it with ANY measure is to use ratios:
4 mayo + 4 sour cream + 1 spice = market sample dip.
That way you can use any spoon you have available. Just measure the spice first so the bag doesn’t get gloopy.

Hi Mary,
all of our spice blends are vegan, so we don’t have anything like a Chicken Broth powder or seasoning. There are more and more bone broth companies popping up at markets around here, so it’s worth checking out your own local area.
Sorry I can’t be more help
I used the Epicure chicken broth seasoning a lot. Do you have anything like that?
hi Lisa,
sorry about the confusion with my notation. It is not a typo, it’s a restaurant kitchen notation that I grew up with.
Here is the legend
T = Tablespoon
t = teaspoon
So in this recipe, it’s:
2 Tablespoons of Mayo
2 Tablespoons of Sour Cream
1.5 teaspoons of spice blend.
Another way to look at it, and make it with ANY measure is to use ratios:
4 mayo + 4 sour cream + 1 spice = market sample dip.
That way you can use any spoon you have available. Just measure the spice first so the bag doesn’t get gloopy.
When using your spice for a dip, recipe calls for T’s of mix,mayo, sour cream. Teaspoon or tablespoon of each??
