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.
