Fresh Dill Dip is a delicious appetizer recipe perfect for parties or get-togethers. This recipe is simple to prepare and tastes great! A creamy mixture of Dijon, sour cream, herbs, and simple seasonings makes this dip irresistible.
Plus, this dip recipe is very versatile. You can serve it at room temperature with freshly chopped vegetables or warm it up in the oven to spread on fish.
Ingredients:
- Sour cream – While this original recipe uses sour cream, this ingredient can easily be substituted for Greek Yogurt.
- Real mayonnaise – Use full-fat products versus low-fat or fat-free to keep the flavor full.
- Dijon mustard – Just a note not to accidentally use Dijon honey, or it will not taste the same.
- Half a lemon (about one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice)
- Chopped fresh dill – Also called dill weed, fresh dill is typically readily available at the store. You can use dried dill, but it will not taste as good. Conversion needs to be done on fresh versus dried, and the texture will change unless you allow proper time in the fridge for the dried herbs to soften.
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Alternative spices – This dip can also be made with various changes by adding minced onion (or onion powder), minced roasted garlic (or garlic powder), and other fresh herbs to your liking.
How to make Sour Cream Dill Dip

- Cover in an airtight container and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight for flavors to mingle.
- Stir creamy dill dip well before serving with fresh vegetables or crackers.
Best Veggies for Dipping
- Any favorite potato chips, crackers, or pita chips.
- Pair this with baked potatoes, fish, or chicken kabobs.

- Cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red pepper strips.
- Peeled and chopped carrot, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, and mushrooms.
How to make Homemade Dill dip as a Salad Dressing?
Dips and dressings are often interchangeable in flavor but vary in type of consistency.
Add milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until desired texture is reached to thin out any dip recipe into a dressing. Take that boring salad to something amazing!
Can dill dip be made ahead?
Yes! Most dips need to be made ahead of time to really allow the spices to melt together and provide the most flavor. This dip is no exception. While we do suggest a minimum of one hour prior to serving, this dip can be made and stored 24 hours prior to serving for delicious results.
Can dill dip be frozen?
Dairy products (like sour cream) do not do well when frozen as they tend to separate and later texture. I do not recommend freezing this dip recipe.
