    Ingredients in a bowl.

    Measure ingredients: Measure out the dried herbs and spices and add them to a medium-sized bowl.

    Add wet ingredients: To the bowl with the seasonings, add the mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir until fully combined.

    Dip mixed in a bowl.

    Chill to develop flavor: Cover with plastic wrap or add to an airtight container and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.

    DILL PICKLE OPTION: Add ¼ cup of finely diced pickles for a dill pickle flavored dip.

    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.

    Serving suggestions

    • 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

    Can I use fresh dill to make this recipe?

    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.

    How long does homemade dill dip last in the fridge?

    This dip will last in the fridge for up to four days. Just make sure it's stored in an airtight container.

    Does Walmart sell dill dip?

    Walmart does sell dill dip occasionally, but it's best to make your own from scratch as it contains no chemicals or preservatives.
