Tips

  • Fresh dill gives the best flavor, but dried dill works in a pinch.
  • Make it a day ahead for stronger, blended flavors.
  • Stir the dip before serving if it has been sitting in the fridge.
  • Avoid storing the dip with wet veggies to prevent it from getting watery.

Variations

  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
  • Mix in a few drops of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to make it lighter.
  • Use chives or parsley alongside dill for an herby twist.
