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 – Full-fat sour cream makes for an ultra-creamy texture.
- Mayo – Use a high quality mayo for the best flavor. I prefer Hellmann’s or Best Foods.
- Beau Monde – This is the secret ingredient. Shhh!
- Dried Dill Weed – Dried dill seed can be substituted. A little note on that below.
- Dried Parsley – I really like the flavor profile of the dried parsley in this dip recipe, but you can also use fresh. You will need 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley to get the same pronounced flavor.
- Dried Minced Onion – 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.
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).
If you love this Dill Veggie Dip recipe, leave a 5-star rating to share with others. It’s so easy and so delicious, you’ll never buy a mix or pick it up at the store again!

We tried this in place of our French onion dip and loved it!! Thank you for a great recipe.
This is perfect for parties!
I really like to spread this on sandwiches!
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.
This sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it!
Love this classic dill dip recipe! This is exactly how my mom made it growing up.
Dill is my favorite! This dip is heaven
This dill dip tastes exactly like how my dad use to make it! Great recipe!
We make this every holiday too!! and yes, it’s the only time my Beau Monde is used!
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!
This is fantastic! You get so much more flavor from skipping the packet and making your own!
So true! There’s just no comparison.
This is the best dip for a party- everyone loves it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh this looks amazing! Thank you so much!
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!
I love the flavor of dill, So I will for sure have to give this dip a try!
Hello, do you use fresh or dried dill weed? Thank you!
I use dried, but you can use either. Enjoy!
Thanks 🙂
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/
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!
