This easy dill dip is creamy and flavorful, and ready in minutes! Dill dip is great served with your favorite fresh chopped vegetables, chips, crackers, and toasted bread!
Now that Spring has officially arrived I am craving fresh veggies, and mostly craving dill like I do every single year!
This dip is a staple spring and summer dip around our house. I love how cool and creamy it is and sometimes we will just have it for lunch when the weather is really hot.
How to Make Dill Dip:
Dill dip is incredibly simple to make! It takes about seven ingredients total and they are things that I almost always have around the house, and you probably do as well.
I like to use dried herbs for this dip most of the time. That way, if you aren't able to find fresh dill and parsley at the time, you can still make dill dip whenever you feel like it! Dried dill weed and dried parsley are herbs that I always keep in my spice rack just in case!
The most important part of making this dip is to let it chill after mixing. You can eat it right away if you are in a time pinch, but it tastes so much better if the flavors have at least 30 minutes to meld together. This dip can be refrigerated for up to three days before serving if you want to make it ahead.
What is in Dill Dip?
Dill dip starts with a simple and classic combination of sour cream and mayonnaise. If you prefer, the sour cream can be swapped out for plain Greek yogurt. Next comes either fresh or dried dill, some dried or fresh parsley, dried minced onion, garlic powder, and just a pinch of salt.
These ingredients create a powerful flavor combination, and the dill really stands out! Don't skimp on the garlic powder, garlic and dill are best friends and taste amazing together!
My suggestion is to go very easy on the salt. I start with ⅛ teaspoon, which might not seem like much, but a little seems to go a long way. After you have chilled this dip, give it a taste and add more seasonings to your liking.
What Foods go well with Dill Dip?
Homemade dill dip is the perfect combination to any veggie tray! I haven't found a vegetable that I don't like this dip with, and it's always a hit with a crowd.
Use a combination of your favorite vegetables. We like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and green onions. It's also great with celery and carrots!
Dill dip is great served with potato chips and bread as well. I typically use ruffled plain potato chips since the dip is so flavorful on its own. As far as bread, we really like to serve pumpernickel with this dip! It's also great with Hawaiian bread, either toasted or not, depending on what you like.
If you want this dip to be more of a meal, it is also really great served with chicken kabobs for dipping!
Enjoy!

I hate mayonnaise but saw this recipe and thought, Why not? So glad I did because this was absolutely the best dip I have ever made. I am even excited about carrots again! 😆 I didn't have to adjust the measurements one bit. I used all dry herbs and it was perfect! Thank you! 😋
Can we have measurements for using all fresh ingredients?
I love this recipe. Instead of salt, I add about a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. It really adds to the flavor of the dip.
Awesome dip and so easy to make. My daughter, that said she doesn't like dill dip, loves this and has been chowing down. Works great as a "sauce" for veggie pizza! Thank you!
Delish! Perfect blend of seasoning & super easy to make. I make 1/2 of the recipe at a time, which is easy because the mayo & sour cream are in equal amounts.
Super easy and delicious!! So much better than store bought.
this dip is so good my 7 yr old grandson loves it on every thing tkx for the recipe 🙂
Love this dip! I made this with onion powder instead and was perfect and still yummmy
I definitely think it's required you let this dip sit. If you try to eat it immediately the onions are crunchy and weird. The day after I made it, we all thought it was delicious. The onions give it a great texture and the flavor was perfect!
Excellent
One of my favorite dips for veggies, chips & other of the new thin, crispy crackers! Love it!!!
Heading to a friends house, and was fully planning on buying dill dip. I came across this, and was stoked that I had everything on hand to make it- *exactly* as written. IT IS PERFECT! I will never buy from the store again. Thank you!!
Im always wondering why i make such a big deal about certain store products i buy a lot.
This recipe is not only super easy to make, it costs less, and tastes even better than the one i buy. Pretty sure i won't be buying it much after tasting this delicious dip!
Very close to my original recipe that I used for many years I always put a couple tablespoons of lemon juice a in the recipe thank you so much no onion , mayonnaise sour cream lemon juice and Lawry seasoned salt tablespoon thank you
Made this dill dip for Memorial Day party. I couldn't find any of store dip so decided to make my own. This recipe is not only easy to make but the most delicious veggie dip I have ever tasted. No more store dip for me.
I use to make this 40 years ago and couldn't find the recipe. I don't know if this is the same one but it is so fresh tasting and so delicious!! Thank you!!!
Wonderful dill flavour! I could just eat it by the spoonful!! My family in Hawaii love it with their salmon ?
My favorite Go To dip.
I did leave out the minced onion. It was great my children love it as well
Amazing dill dip. Follow recipe and get ready to be amazed.
Thank you SO much for this recipe. On the East Coast, I always used to buy Marzetti dill dip for parties and get-togethers. I moved out west, and although a few stories carried it when I first move, it seems they've all stopped stocking it. I've tried several copycat recipes, but none of them came close to the taste of Marzetti. I came across your recipe yesterday and made it, and it is as close to the brand version that I am going to get. I'm a happy camper!
