PIN FOR LATER!

Ingredients:

Sour cream: I usually use low-fat sour cream, but use whatever sour cream you enjoy. You could also sub the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt to increase the protein.

Mayo: Any kind of mayo will work here, including light mayo.

Dill weed: You can use fresh or dried dill weed. I typically use dried just because that’s what I have on hand.

Garlic powder & onion powder: These really enhance the flavor of the dip and make it taste like ranch.

Salt: You can never forget the salt!

OPTIONAL ADD-INS

• Fresh lemon juice
• Dried minced onion
• Dried minced garlic
• Dried parsley
• Fresh herbs
• Other dried herbs

How to Enjoy Dill Dip

Notes

• If you’re looking to cut calories, replace the sour cream with plain low fat Greek yogurt or use my homemade yogurt recipe that’s full of probiotics!
• Swap the mayonnaise for a lower calorie mayo or something like olive oil mayo for a healthier option.
• If using fresh dill, use about 2 tbs chopped.
• This dip can be eaten right away, but tastes better after it’s been refrigerated for at least 4 hours or overnight.
