Dill Dip

Loaded with fresh herbs, scallions and lemon, this easy dill dip is the perfect recipe to get in the spring spirit or serve as a BBQ side dish this summer. It’s just a few ingredients, but has a ton of flavor, so it’s the perfect snack to make on a whim.

What’s in dill dip?

The base of our dill dip is Greek yogurt rather than sour cream or mayonnaise to make the dip feel as light and fresh as it tastes. Just make sure you use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest, smoothest texture. Lemon juice and zest add citrusy, floral flavor, while scallions add an addictive savory bite. In addition to plenty of fresh dill, we add fresh parsley to truly embrace the bright green herbs of the season. The last thing you’ll need is a generous platter of cut vegetables, crackers and bread for endless dunking.

How to make dill dip

Good news: This is basically a one-step, one-bowl recipe that takes about 10 minutes to make. Just combine the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a bowl, followed by the scallion, parsley and dill. We wouldn’t recommend substituting dried herbs here, as the fresh herbs are what truly make this dip recipe shine. Plus, it’s finally time to start adding fresh herbs to all your favorite spring dinners, so that bundle of dill will not go to waste.

What to serve with dill dip?

We love a combination of sturdy veggies like sliced cucumbers, raw carrots, peppery radishes and crunchy green beans, plus plenty of ruffled potato chips and salty crackers. Add slices of baguette for a more substantial appetizer.

If you’re lucky enough to have any leftover dill dip, you can use it up as a yogurt sauce for roasted chicken or as an herby spread for salmon burgers.
