1/2 cup mayo 1/2 cup sour cream, add Italian seasoning mix. I have made it before but don't really measure the seasoning mix. You could try the recipe that comes with the southwest seasoning mix for more accurate amounts. I sometimes add 1 clove of pressed garlic and some shredded cheddar or mazzarella cheese... Just experiment and it will turn out great I'm sure.
