With only 6 ingredients, this homemade Vegetable Dill Dip is going to be your favorite dish to serve with fresh vegetables. It’s also delicious served with chips or crackers.
I am going to be completely honest – I don’t get excited about eating raw vegetables. However, if you serve some dip with those raw vegetables, I can eat a pound of carrots in one sitting!
Some may argue that dip counteracts eating healthy vegetables, but it doesn’t take much of this flavorful dip recipe to go a long way when served on a veggie tray.
This is a great recipe to make when you need a quick side dish for dinner or even a party – it comes together in less than 5 minutes and is made with ingredients that I usually always have on hand.
After you are done mixing this dip together, I highly recommend letting it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before eating to let the flavors meld together. It tastes amazing!
Ingredients needed for Vegetable Dill Dip:
- Mayo: use your favorite brand of mayonnaise
- Cream: use either regular or light sour cream
- Seasonings: use dried dill weed, dried minced onion, dried parsley, and seasoned salt which can all be found in the baking aisle in the grocery store
- Fresh veggies: serve this homemade dip with baby carrots, sliced cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes
Equipment
How To Make Easy Dill Dip:
- Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Cover and store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving (I like to make it the day before serving it so that the flavors can meld together).
- Serve with your favorite vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes, etc), crackers, or potato chips.
Ingredient Substitutions To Make This Dip Healthier:
If you are looking to lighten up this dip, there are a few substitutions you can make.
- Substitute the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt. You will still get all the creaminess you need in this dip and the Greek yogurt adds a great flavor. You could even do 1 1/2 cups of yogurt with a 1/2 cup of mayo.
- You could also substitute cottage cheese for the sour cream – it will give it a little bit of a different taste and definitely a different texture, but it’s a delicious change.
- I usually use light mayo for this recipe and don’t notice a difference at all.
- Some of our readers have also substituted the mayo for cream cheese and said it turned out so yummy.
Frequently Asked Questions for Making Homemade Dill Dip:
We love serving this dip with fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, celery sticks, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and cauliflower.
This dip is also delicious and served with crackers (I love it with Wheat Thins), pita chips, or potato chips.
If you have it available, fresh dill weed is delicious in this recipe. You will need about 1/4 cup of fresh dill weed in place of the dried dill weed.
Use fresh herbs if you have them! They add tons of flavor, but the dried herbs will work well if you don’t have any.
Sprinkle a little onion powder or garlic powder for even more flavor development.
Storage Instructions:
Fridge: Place the creamy dill dip recipe into an airtight container or the serving dish you plan on using with aluminum foil and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

just curious:
do you only use Mayo or do you consider Miracle Whip the same?
some people do, others don’t so would like your input.
Mt ex mother-in-law made this and I lost the recipe. I think it is exactly the same. Can’t wait to make it again.
Is this 1 Tbsp of FRESH or DRIED dill? Sounds good!!!
I’m with you…I like my veggies served on the side of a bucket ‘O Ranch! (lol) This dip sounds like it will do the trick too!
Dried dill weed. 🙂
We don’t consider them the same taste. They will both work. Most of the sisters are Mayo lovers, a few prefer Miracle Whip. 🙂
It totally has taken me years to like raw veggies. Dip is totally what won me over
Thank u 🙂 Yay even easier, I always have that on hand!
This is the recipe I got from my mom
You guys are all just so cute. I love that you have this website, love that you are such great entrepreneurs, love that your recipes are delicious, easy, and creative! Thanks so much. God bless y’all.
This is a great recipe! I tried it the other day and it was a hit. I was actually looking for something with cream cheese so I substituted that for the mayo. It is one of our new favorites!
Hi Ladies,
If you like Dill Dip, this spice blend makes 4 cups. All that I use is Hellmann’s Real Mayo and Daisy 100% Real Sour Cream … Yummy.
Yum! Just made this for tomorrow. It’s a little bit too salty (I think that’s because of my mayo – I use Trader Joe’s Organic Mayo and it’s very tangy and a bit salty). Next time, I’ll try it with 1/2 t. of season salt instead! Thanks for the yummy recipe, Dill Dip has been a favorite of mine for years, especially for Thanksgiving!
I would like to know which brand of seasoned salt you use as they are all so different.
We ususally use Morton Seasoned Salt or Lawry’s.
We had the most amazing Dill Tartar Sauce at a restaurant on the Oregon Coast. Would love a recipe.
NO… Miracle Whip is too tangy… it will ruin the essence of the dip.
I wanted to make a suggestion for making this a bit more healthy: Instead of sour cream, use low-fat or fat-free plain Greek yogurt! It gives recipes the same texture and tang as sour cream, but nowhere near as much fat and TONS more protein 🙂
I have been making this dip since 1970! I use dry dill because I always have it in the house.
Love this recipe.
I tried your suggestion with low-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it was great. Hit with the football fans.
How long will this stay good in the fridge?
Keep it in an airtight container and it should be just fine for about 3-5 days.
do you have any nutritional information? I LOVE this dip and I have a feeling my ‘serving’ may not be accurate lol 🙂
I’ve kept mine in a covered container in the fridge for a week with no issues
Where is the recipe?
The recipe is all there. Just scroll down to the recipe and photo.
I served this dip at a BBQ as part of a veggie tray, and everyone enjoyed it. There wasn’t much left over and what was left over, we discovered that this dip also makes a really yummy cracker spread! The only thing I would change after I got a review from several folks is the amount of seasoned salt. Next time I will cut that in half. The majority thought it was a delicious dip, but could cut back on the salt. Of course, no one noticed that I used light mayo and fat free plain Greek yogurt making this dip only 1 WW point per serving!
I don’t have dried onion. Would onion powder or fresh diced onion work?
My family rates this above all other dips!
I don’t have dried onion. Would onion powder or fresh diced onion work?
You can add onion powder for the added flavor, or a fresh diced onion will work too. Try to dice as fine as you can. You don’t want big chunks of onion, but you’ll like the added flavor.
I have this recipe, the only difference is I use celery salt. I will have to try it with the Lowerys.
My family loves this dip….I can’t keep enough of it on hard. Easy to make & as delicious as the top supermarket brand. Thank you for sharing.
Great veggie dip!
One of the best dill dips I’ve had! Made this for Easter this year (:
I’ve used this recipe for years!
This is the BEST dip! I use only 1/2tsp seasoned salt and sub 5% greek yogurt for the sour cream and it disappears quickly any time I take it to a gathering.
This is my favorite veggie dip recipe that I’ve been using for several years! It’s a hit everywhere I bring it. I think one thing that sets mine apart is the onion. I use Tastefully Simples “onion onion” and it makes it SO good. I normally don’t buy specific brands like that, but I’ll probably always have it on hand for this dip. So good!
