Cook's Tips
When preparing ingredients, make sure the dried seasonings are not expired as this will affect the flavor of the dip.
If you'd like a thinner dip, add more sour cream or mayo until desired consistency is reached.
Chilling in the fridge is important because it allows the flavors to develop and meld together. It also helps thicken the dip.

- Potato chips
- Raw veggies
- Wing sauce
- Drizzle over Bisquick Oven Fried Chicken or Air Fryer Chicken Legs
- Burger sauce
- Fry sauce
- Onion rings
- Potato wedges
- Bring it to a picnic, party, tailgate, or game day party
Variations
Make it lighter by swapping the sour cream and/or mayonnaise for equal quantities of plain yogurt.
Add in some diced green onions, crumbled bacon, or even shredded cheese for a different flavor profile.
If you're looking for something spicier, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes, chipotle, or jalapeno peppers.
If you love garlic, try adding some freshly minced garlic for an extra kick of flavor.
Add finely chopped dill pickles for more texture and pickle flavor.
Storage & Freezing
Storing: Once mixed, you can store this dip in the fridge for up four days. Give it a good stir before serving to re-incorporate the flavors and texture.
Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as the texture will change when thawed due to the water content in the sour cream and mayo.
FAQs
You can, but it won't have the same concentrated flavor as dried dill weed. If you're using fresh dill, use double the amount called for in the recipe and then let it sit after mixing to allow the flavors to develop.
This dip will last in the fridge for up to four days. Just make sure it's stored in an airtight container.
