2. Combine the mayonnaise and buttermilk in a second small mixing bowl using a wire whisk until thoroughly mixed. Add the chopped garlic and lemon juice and whisk again.
3. Add the parsley, salt and curry powder to the buttermilk mixture. Whisk to combine and then taste. Add more salt and/or curry powder to taste, if desired.
