Description
This Dill Dip Recipe Creamy Ranch Style is an irresistible dip featuring fresh dill and a creamy texture, perfect for snacks, game day, or appetizers. It’s simple and versatile, ideal for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise (or avocado oil-based mayonnaise)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1–2 teaspoons milk or water (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
- Prep Your Herbs: Finely chop your fresh dill.
- Combine the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth. If it appears too thick, splash in 1-2 teaspoons of milk or water to reach desired consistency.
- Add the Flavor: Stir in chopped dill, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ranch-style flavors to meld and deepen.
Notes
For a high-protein version, substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. For a lighter touch, use avocado oil-based mayonnaise. For dairy-free, opt for plant-based sour cream and mayonnaise or unsweetened cashew cream. Fresh dill is always preferred for the most vibrant flavor. Use pre-minced garlic or onion if time is short. Always taste and adjust seasonings. Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
