The Only Dill Dip Recipe You’ll Ever Need (Even If You Don’t Like Dill!)

Some of the best recipes come from the women who never gatekeep. My stepdad’s mom is one of those women. She’s the kind of person who loves to share her tried-and-true family recipes, and we’re all better for it. I’ve been lucky enough to taste many of her creations over the years, but there’s one that stands out every single time: her famous Dill Dip.

Now here’s the wild part… I’m actually not a big fan of dill. Dill pickles? I’ll pass. Dill seasoning on anything else? Meh. But this dip? It’s a whole different story. It’s rich, creamy, savory, and absolutely addictive. Once you try it, you’ll understand why it never lasts long in our house. You might want to go ahead and double—or let’s be honest, triple—the recipe right off the bat. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

A Dip That Goes With Everything (Seriously)

This Dill Dip is made with just six ingredients and comes together in a matter of minutes. It’s the perfect last-minute dish to whip up for gatherings, parties, game days, or even just a cozy night at home when you’re craving something delicious to snack on.

If you’re a fan of crunchy veggies, you’re in luck. This dip pairs beautifully with crisp celery sticks, carrot slices, broccoli florets, and even cucumbers. The coolness of the veggies with the creamy dip is a match made in heaven.

But I’ve got to be honest with you—I’m not exactly a veggie lover. (We all have our things, right?) So when I make this for myself, I reach for the Wavy potato chips. Yep, the salty, crunchy, not-the-healthiest-but-so-worth-it kind. It’s indulgent and comforting and just what I need sometimes. There’s no judgment here—this dip is made for treating yourself.

When to Serve It? Anytime!

Here’s what I love most about this dip: it works for pretty much any occasion. Need something quick for a potluck? Make this dip. Hosting a girls’ night in? Make this dip. Want to encourage your kids to eat their veggies without bribing them with dessert? You guessed it—make this dip.

It also travels well, so it’s a great option to bring to your next cookout or family gathering. Prep it ahead of time and tuck it in the fridge the night before a big get-together so it’s ready to grab and go. Just don’t forget the chips or veggies!

The Secret Ingredient That Makes It Pop

There’s one ingredient in this recipe that deserves its own little shoutout: Beau Monde Seasoning. If you’ve never used it before, this might be your new favorite spice blend. It adds the perfect depth and savory richness to the dip, and honestly? It just wouldn’t be the same without it.

I highly recommend getting the Spice Islands brand if you can find it. Some grocery stores carry it, and you can also grab it online if needed. Whatever you do, don’t skip it or try to substitute it with something else. It’s the star of the show.

How to Make Dill Dip

Okay, now let’s get down to business. This recipe couldn’t be easier, which is part of what makes it so great. You’ll just need one bowl, a spoon, and a handful of ingredients. Here’s what you’ll do:

Ingredients:

1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayo
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried chives
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon Beau Monde Seasoning (Spice Islands brand)

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and mayo until smooth.
Add in the parsley, chives, dill weed, and Beau Monde seasoning.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. (This step is important—the flavors deepen and meld together, making the dip even more delicious!)
Serve with your favorite dipping snacks—veggies, chips, crackers, you name it.

I hope you love this dip as much as I do! Whether you’re a dill devotee or someone like me who usually avoids it, this dip has a way of converting just about everyone. It’s creamy, flavorful, and a true family favorite—one of those little recipes that turns a regular snack into something special.
