Dill veggie dip has always been one of my favorite appetizers. Fresh dill has such a mild but unique flavor and adds such a coolness to this delicious recipe.
This Creamy Dill Dip is a mix of both mayonnaise and sour cream. It has the perfect smoothness with just a hint of tang. It pairs perfectly not just with any vegetable, but also with chips, cheeses, crackers, breads…and as a dipping sauce for salmon or chicken.
How to Make a Homemade Dill Dip Recipe
There are just two steps to making this easy dill dip:
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream and seasonings. Mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to give the flavors time to blend.
That’s it! After that, it’s ready for all kinds of uses.
What is beau monde seasoning?
Beau Monde seasoning is a mix of seasonings from the Spice Islands brand. It is a mix of celery, onion and salt, plus a touch of sweetness. It’s great in many kinds of vegetable dips, in rubs for roasted meats and many other savory dishes. Can’t find it? Make your own.
Can you use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Yes! To lower the fat content and up the protein, use plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. it will change the flavor and texture slightly.
