    Dill is such a classic flavor in dips. I love to serve this one up with a huge bowl of chips and a tray of sliced veggies for everyone to enjoy.

    Creamy Dill Dip

    This was inspired by my buttermilk rand dip recipe on this site. It pairs well with this amazing baked pita chips recipe.

    A new, totally delicious recipe that I've just come up with is my crockpot rotel dip. It's worth checking out...I'm sure you'll love it.

    Ingredients

    It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this dip. Anything you don't have in your kitchen can be easily found at your grocery store.

    • Mayonnaise
    • Sour cream
    • Onion flakes
    • Parsley flakes
    • Chopped fresh dill
    • Dill weed
    • Seasoned salt

    See the recipe card at the end of the post for quantities.

    Instructions

    Making this dip is such a simple task. It only takes a couple of steps!

    Step 1: Combine all Ingredients

    Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, onion, parsley, dill, and seasoned salt in a bowl and mix well until thoroughly combined.

    Step 2: Chill

    Chill for at least 2 hours, then serve with your favorite dipping foods like chips or veggies..

    Hint: Always let your dip chill for a minimum of 2 hours. The longer it chills the more the flavors meld.

    FAQ

    Do you have questions about this creamy dill dip? Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about dill dip.

    Why can't I freeze this dip?

    Mayonnaise and sour cream break when frozen and defrosted, and this dip contains both.

    Why is my dip becoming watery?

    The culprit isn't even in the dip. When you dip vegetables directly into the dip, some of the moisture from the veggies gets into the dip, especially if you're dipping something watery like cucumber slices. Over time that moisture makes the dip watery.

    Why do I have to chill this dip before serving?

    Chilling the dip gives all the individual flavors a chance to meld together.

      Gonna make this recipe later...& then use it for the fresh garden cukes a friend gave us. Can I use yogurt instead of sour cream? We no longer do well with sour cream, if you get our drift!! LOL!!!
      Would also appreciate a recipe for either Oven or Slow Cooker beef ribs...
      Haven't made them in years..think L-O-N-G years & no idea what I did with it..
      Would appreciate your input on this one..
      Thanks..
      Take Care now..

        We make it with Greek yogurt now too. I definitely get it. I’m finding dairy is more and more an issue unfortunately. As for beef ribs our favorite recipe by far is this one. It’s an oldie and a goodie. I can’t wait to hear what you think. Take care and hope to talk soon. Karin
