Instructions

- The real deliciousness happens when the herbs and spices get up close and personal in the fridge and have time to soften and amplify the flavors. Trust me, it’s exponentially better if you let it chill in the fridge overnight. It’s science. Delicious, edible science!

Notes
- Have fresh dill handy? You're welcome to use that in place of dried! With fresh dill you'll add an extra teaspoon or two for the same flavor profile as dried. Adjust to taste and you're good to go!
- Full-fat mayo and sour cream is essential here for dip flavor and texture. A little fat paired with vegetables is essential for better absorbing certain antioxidants and vitamins anyways.
- Nutrition Facts below are estimated per 2 TBSP serving dip using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed based on choice of dippers and portion chosen.
