Dill Dip Ingredients
- Mayonnaise: Provides a creamy texture and rich flavor as the base of the dip. Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best taste.
- Sour Cream: Adds tanginess and a smooth texture, complementing the mayonnaise. For a lighter version, use low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Garlic Powder: Adds a mild, savory garlic flavor without the intensity of fresh garlic.
- Onion Powder: Provides a hint of sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Fresh Dill: It is essential for its unique, grassy, and slightly citrus flavor. Ensure the dill is finely chopped for even distribution throughout the dip.
- Fresh Parsley: Adds a fresh taste and vibrant color to the dip. Like dill, it should be finely chopped.
- Fresh Lemon Juice: Brightens the dip with a touch of acidity, enhancing all the other flavors. Always opt for fresh lemon juice over bottled for the best flavor.
- Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the dip.
- Freshly Cracked Black Pepper: Adds a slight heat and complexity. Freshly cracked pepper is more flavorful than pre-ground.
How to Make Dill Dip Recipe
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together.
How to Store
Transfer the dip into an airtight container and chill it in the fridge overnight. (If the dip is going to be out for more than two hours, place a bowl of it on ice to keep it fresh and safe.) It will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days when stored properly in an airtight container.
Recipe Variations
- Greek Yogurt Swap: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier twist. It keeps the dip creamy but adds protein.
- Lighter Mayo: Try olive oil mayonnaise for a lighter version that still tastes great.
- Dried Dill Option: No fresh dill? Use 1 tablespoon of dried dill. Dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs, so you need less.
- Dried Parsley Substitute: If you're out of fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley works as a good substitute.
