🌿 Ingredients To Make Dill Dip

Sour cream (or Greek yogurt): the creamy base that makes this dip thick, cool, and tangy.
Mayonnaise: adds richness and that smooth, classic dip texture.
Fresh dill (or dried): the star of the show — herby and bright.
Pickle juice: brings a hit of acidity and tang to cut through the creaminess.
Garlic powder: adds mellow garlicky warmth without overpowering.
Onion powder: brings a subtle savoury depth and classic dip flavour.
Salt: pulls all the flavours together so don’t skip it!

✔ How To Make This Dill Dip Recipe

To make this dill dip, grab a medium mixing bowl and add the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and mayo. Whisk them together until smooth and well combined.

Next, sprinkle in the fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. If you’re using dried dill, add that instead but reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon.

Drizzle in the pickle juice and give everything another good whisk. The pickle juice adds just the right amount of tang.

Cover the bowl and let the dip chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours meld. Then serve it with chips, crackers, fresh bread, or raw veggies.

🗒 Variations

Extra tangy: add a spoonful of Greek yogurt or an extra splash of pickle juice.
Chunky texture: mix in chopped pickles for a little extra crunch and flavour.

🗒 Substitutions

Fresh vs dried dill: use 3 tablespoons fresh dill or 1 tablespoon dried dill.
Dairy-free: use plant-based sour cream and mayo to make it vegan.

A platter of fresh vegetables and crackers surrounds a bowl of creamy dill dip, perfect for any gathering. This veggie dip is served with cucumber sticks, red bell pepper slices, and carrots, alongside a striped red and white napkin.

🍴 Leftovers? Lucky you.

If you’ve got leftover dill dip (honestly, impressive), store it in a sealed container or mason jar in the fridge. It’ll last up to 5 days or closer to 3–4 days if you used fresh dill. Give it a stir before serving, and get ready to dip again.

🤔 FAQ’S

Can I make this vegan?

Yes, just use a plant-based sour cream and mayo.

Can I use dried dill?
