Fair Warning… This dip is addictive. You will seriously sit and eat the entire platter of veggies or chips and not even realize it until it’s all gone.

The Knitty Gritty
Dill dip starts with a simple and fairly classic combination of sour cream and mayonnaise. I find most people tend to do a 1:1 ratio of sour cream and mayonnaise, but I actually prefer a higher amount of sour cream to mayonnaise ratio. I find it to be less oily and I love the coolness that sour cream brings.
Of course, fresh dill is amazing, but I wanted this recipe to be something you could make in a pinch with ingredients from your pantry. So that’s why it’s dry dill for the recipe. The best part about that is if you’re like me and you like to dry the dill you grow in your gardens, you can use the dill you grow all year round! If you want details on drying your fresh herbs check out my blog post on How to: Dry Dill (and other herbs).
The garlic and onion powder are a nice and easy addition versus fresh. Also, using fresh will change the texture.
These ingredients create a powerful flavor combination, and the dill really stands out, especially after the addition of the lemon! Don’t skip the garlic and onion powder. Garlic and onion powder are BBFs and additionally, garlic and dill are best friends. The three taste amazing together!
Salt on the other hand, because we’re adding Worcestershire sauce to this recipe, go very easy on the salt. The recipe only suggests ⅛ teaspoon. I know that doesn’t seem like much, but trust me when I say in this case… A little goes a long way.
After you have chilled the dip for 30 minutes, and I highly recommend you let it sit for at least 30 minutes, you can give it a taste and add more seasonings to your liking.
Ingredient Alternatives
- Sour Cream – Greek yogurt can be used in a 1:1 ratio
- Dried Dill – Fresh dill is always a great replacement. 1 teaspoon dried dill = 1 tablespoon fresh dill (for this recipe that would be 6 tablespoons + 1 ½ teaspoons of fresh dill, if you did not double or triple the recipe).
- Worcestershire Sauce – This had a great umami flavor. You can also use fish sauce in a 1:1 ratio.
- Lemon Juice – Lime juice is also a great change-up, but I highly recommend some kind of citrus. It adds brightness to this dip.
Uses for Dill Dip
What I love about this dip is that it can be used as a dip OR as a sauce. Try it with
- Cut veggies on your next veggie tray/charcuterie board
- Serve it with Chips
- Use it as a sauce with salmon
- Serve with Chicken Kabobs
Storage
This dill dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. So you can make this a day ahead for a party.
*I do NOT recommend freezing yogurt does not freeze well.
