Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt plus more to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to a medium mixing bowl. Stir with a spoon or whisk until smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Stir in the fresh or dried dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the herbs and seasonings are distributed throughout the dip.
  3. Taste a small spoonful. Add a pinch of salt if needed, or a little more dill for a stronger herbal flavor. Avoid adding too much lemon juice at once, since additional liquid can make the dip thinner.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time is especially useful when using dried dill because it gives the herb time to soften and release its flavor.
  5. Stir the dip once more before serving. Transfer it to a small serving bowl and garnish with extra dill if desired. Arrange it alongside your favorite vegetables and enjoy.

Notes

Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups. Use 2 tablespoons fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill. Chill at least 30 minutes.
