 Classic, flavorful Dill Dip that’s always a crowd pleaser for holidays, game days and summer gatherings. This Dill Dip recipe is an easy make ahead appetizer you’ll make again and again!
It’s not a holiday in our family without dill dip. It’s been a favorite of mine since childhood! In fact, long before my palate expanded, it was my Thanksgiving dinner.
It is not only one of the easiest appetizers you can make, but it can also be made in advance, which makes it even more appealing. My mom always whipped it up the night before Thanksgiving and Christmas in just 5 minutes – it never occurred to me that there would even be a mix for something this easy.
So often, a shortcut isn’t really a shortcut. My sister and I were just talking about how every time we make it we’re asked for the recipe and almost every time we share the recipe they’ll ask what Beau Monde is. I’ll be honest, if it weren’t for this dill dip, I’d be clueless as well. It’s the only recipe I use it for, but it’s soooo worth it! It’s a spice you’ll find at any grocery store. From our home to yours, enjoy!

How to Make Dill Dip
Combine ingredients and refrigerate – it’s just that easy!
Should I Use Dill Weed or Dill Seed in this Dill Dip?
Both my mom and grandma made this dill dip recipe, but I always remembered it varied slightly depending on who was whipping it up that evening – mom used dill weed and grandma used dill seed. I prefer dill weed myself, but dill seed adds a little extra texture. It’s truly your choice!
Dill Veggie Dip
This is also known as dill veggie dip because veggies pair so well with it! I recommend carrots, celery, bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli – the options are endless.

Hi Julie! This dip sounds amazing and I’m going to take it to my daughters home for Christmas dinner. Could you please enlighten me on where to find beau monde? I’m assuming it is a seasoning? Merry Christmas!
It is – you’ll find it in the seasoning aisle at every grocery store, but this is the only recipe I’ve ever used it in. My sister and I were just talking last night about how everyone asks for the recipe when we make it. Enjoy!
Sounds delicious! I also love your bowl – can you share where you bought it? Thanks!
Thanks, Susie! You can find it here https://julieblanner.com/shop-my-kitchen/
Thanks 🙂
Hello, do you use fresh or dried dill weed? Thank you!
I use dried, but you can use either. Enjoy!
I love the flavor of dill, So I will for sure have to give this dip a try!
I investigated beau monde recipes. Apparently there are two versions, one has onion and garlic powder, seasoned salt and sea salt, and celery seed. Another has cloves, nutm
Wow – that’s interesting. I had no idea! Thanks for sharing!
Oh this looks amazing! Thank you so much!Â
This is the best dip for a party- everyone loves it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is fantastic! You get so much more flavor from skipping the packet and making your own!Â
So true! There’s just no comparison.
me too with this recipe! but haven’t seen or tasted it in years and Mom had the recipe, and she’s no longer with us so I have to thank you for re-creating a wonderful memory for me, and have no idea whether dill weed or seed may or may not have been used so might have to make it a few times with each, I already know I love it with the ingredients you have here
So glad you enjoy it, too Sabrina! That melts my heart!
