Ingredients & Tools

- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard – (or Dijon mustard if you prefer)
- 1 teaspoon baby capers
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 lime – or lemon
- salt and pepper – to taste
How to Make it
Step #1. Chop the Dill
Chop the dill finely.
Step #2. Add Ingredients to Bowl

Step #3. Combine
Mix all dill dip ingredients very well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (if needed).

Serve with chips, crackers, celery, zucchini and carrot sticks, or whatever you like dipping with. You can also serve it as a sauce over salmon.
What to Serve With Dill Dip
This simple and delicious dill sauce will spice up any party or event you’re hosting from now on. As equally important as the dip itself is what to provide your guests to dip into it with.
Make a selection of chips, crackers, baguette slices, veggie sticks, or whatever else you like most for transferring sauces into your mouth. You can eat it by the spoon if you really like. I’m not here to judge.
As for something more filling, you can try chicken fingers, chicken balls or salmon.
Tweaks
- There are a lot of great ways to dress it up, too. Add a little shake of cayenne pepper over the top for some extra visual intrigue and a spicy kick. Diced chives would also be a good topper.
- If you’re missing the zip of a sauce with sour cream, you could try cutting the mayonnaise with some sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for a little extra funky freshness.
Storage
- Cover the dip and store in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. I personally think it tastes better after a day of chilling.
- I do not recommend freezing the dip. The ingredients may split when thawed due to the mayo. If you do freeze it, thaw it in the fridge and stir really well before serving.
