Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dried dill weed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of dried dill weed, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise. Use a spatula or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the dried dill weed to the bowl. This will give your dip a fresh, herby flavor that pairs perfectly with vegetables and crackers.
- Next, pour in the lemon juice. This will add a nice tanginess to the dip, enhancing its flavor profile.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder. This ingredient will provide a subtle garlic flavor, making the dip more savory.
- Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until they are well combined and the dip is uniform in texture.
- Once mixed, taste the dip and season it with salt and pepper according to your preference. Start with a small amount and adjust to your liking.
- After seasoning, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. If you're short on time, you can serve it immediately, but refrigerating will enhance the taste.
- When ready to serve, give the dip a quick stir and transfer it to a serving bowl. Pair it with an assortment of fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, cucumbers, and bell peppers, or serve with your favorite crackers.
- Enjoy your homemade dill dip mix with vegetables and crackers as a delicious appetizer or snack!
Tips
- Chill for Flavor: For the best taste, allow your dill dip to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time lets the flavors meld beautifully, creating a richer taste.
- Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh dill on hand, feel free to substitute it for dried dill weed. Use about three times the amount of fresh dill for an even more vibrant flavor.
- Customize Your Dip: Don’t hesitate to add other ingredients to personalize your dip! Chopped green onions, a dash of hot sauce, or even a sprinkle of paprika can give your dip a unique twist.
- Serving Suggestions: This dip pairs wonderfully with a variety of dippers. Try it with crunchy carrots, crisp cucumbers, bell pepper strips, or a selection of your favorite crackers for a delightful appetizer spread.
- Storage: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to three days, making it a great make-ahead option for parties or snacks throughout the week.
