  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
