Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mayonnaise

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions

Notes
- For a slightly thinner consistency, add one teaspoon of milk or water at a time until you reach your desired thickness.
