    What is Dill Dip?

    This homemade dill dip is made from mayo, fresh dill and a few other other choice ingredients (similar to my honey dill sauce) that make it the perfect complement to raw vegetables and all kinds of party snacks. It can also be called dill sauce.

    Ingredients

    Dill dip ingredients prepped and labeled.

    This recipe makes just over ½ cup dip. You can easily adjust the servings in the recipe card to make a larger batch.

    • fresh dill - Check out how to chop dill for this recipe.
    • yellow mustard - Or Dijon mustard if you prefer.
    • baby capers - Make sure to drain them from the brine and pat them dry with paper towel before adding to the dip.
    • mayonnaise - Can use regular or go make this dip vegan with vegan mayo.
    • lime - Or lemon if you prefer.

    *Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.

    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.
    • You could even sub in a bit of cream cheese.

    How to Make it

    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 (such as celery, zucchini and carrot), 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, fries, puff pastry chicken balls or electric skillet honey-mustard glazed salmon.

    Recipe FAQs

    How long will dill dip last?

    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!

    Can you freeze it?

    I do not recommend freezing the dip. The ingredients may split when thawed due to the mayo. However, if you do freeze it, thaw it in the fridge and stir really well before serving.
