Easy Dill Dip

This easy Dill Dip is a classic! Fresh and flavorful, it’s perfect with vegies, ruffled potato chips and other dippers on a fresh vegetable platter. For best flavor, this tastes the best if you make it a day in advance!

Easy Dill Dip

Like many recipes, Easy Dill Dip tastes the best if you make it a day ahead of time and chill until you're ready to serve. This gives the ingredients a chance to develop the best flavor!

Beau Monde Seasoning used to be a staple in many a cook's kitchen - but for some reason it is rarely seen in recipes lately. If you want to whip up a small batch of Beau Monde Seasoning, I've included a recipe that works well! Whatever you do, use one teaspoons of either Beau Monde Seasoning in this homemade Dill Dip - it makes a world of difference in such a simple dip!

Easy Dill Dip

INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 cups sour cream
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dried dill weed
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon Beau Monde Seasoning

HOMEMADE BEAU MONDE SEASONING MIX:
1 tablespoon ground bay leaf
1 teaspoon ground celery seeds
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

HOW I MAKE THIS:

PREPARE BEAU MONDE SEASONING MIX: Use a spice or coffee grinder to grind bay leaf and celery seed to a fine pulp. (Bay leaves have sharp edges and pieces – you need to pulverize the leaves completely for this recipe.) Add to remaining ingredients and stir or shake until combined. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place. A glass jar with screw-on top works great!
PREPARE DILL DIP: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until well blended.
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight to blend flavors. It tastes even better the next day!

YIELD: 2 cups

RECIPE NOTES: For a healthier version, you can also substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
