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 one of the easiest appetizers you can make and can also be made in advance. That makes this tasty dip recipe even more appealing! My mom always made Dill Veggie Dip the evening before Thanksgiving and Christmas in just 5 minutes. It’s a nice way to save time during the holidays!
This simple dip is a great recipe for every occasion from summer get-togethers, to game days and holidays.
Every time I make this easy dip, everyone asks for the recipe! It’s always a crowd-pleaser.
One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is “What is Beau Monde?” 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!
Dill Dip Recipe Ingredients
To make dill dip, you’ll need a few staple ingredients:
Sour Cream
Mayo
Beau Monde
Dried Dill Weed
Dried Parsley
Dried Minced Onion
Tip: If you’re really in a pinch, you can use Onion Powder, but the minced onion gives it great texture and flavor.
What exactly is Beau Monde?
I asked myself the same question when I first started making this dip recipe with dill. The classic beau monde seasoning is a simple mix of salt, onion powder, and celery powder. It adds that extra special savory flavor. Spice Islands makes a beautiful blend you can find in the grocery store.
Of course, you can always use fresh herbs and spices, but that’s the beauty of this easy dip recipe. You have everything you need in your spice cabinet. To substitute fresh herbs in this dill dip recipe, triple the amount. For example, 2 tsp of dried dill weed equates to 2 Tbsp of fresh dill weed.
Fresh herbs are not as strong as dried herbs, so it requires more to get that same great flavor in this incredible dill veggie dip recipe.
Should I Use Dill Weed or Dill Seed?
My mom and grandma always made this dip recipe for the holidays. My mom used dill weed and grandma used dill seed – both offer great flavor, it just comes down to preference. I prefer dill weed, but dill seed adds a little extra texture. It’s truly your choice!
How to Make Dill Dip
It’s so quick and easy to make. To see just how easy it is, watch the video in this post.
In a mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients together using a spatula. Fold in herbs and spices.
Refrigerate covered – preferably overnight to allow all of the flavors from the herbs and spices to marinate. It can be made up to 3 days in advance!
If you’re in a pinch, it can be ready to serve in just 30 minutes. This gives the dill veggie dip enough time for the flavors to meld together.
What to Serve with Dill Veggie Dip
This is also known as dill veggie dip because raw vegetables pair so well with it! Some favorites include:
carrots
celery
bell peppers
green onions
cauliflower
broccoli
cherry tomatoes
green beans
cucumber slices
Serving it with veggies makes it gluten-free and keto-friendly!
You can also serve it with:
rye bread
sourdough
crackers
pretzels
potato chips
You can serve this dip in a bowl or create a bread bowl using a round loaf of bread.
How Long Does Dill Dip Last?
As with any dip, it’s best enjoyed chilled and consumed within 3 hours (at room temperature for just 2 hours). You can store this simple veggie dip refrigerated, covered in plastic wrap, for up to 3 days.
Can You Freeze Dill Dip?
Dill Dip does not freeze well because it contains dairy (sour cream and mayonnaise).

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!
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
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
I was looking for a dill dip from scratch and this recipe was perfect! I even had Beau Monde in my spice drawer so it was a piece of cake to put together.
