Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon dried dill
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon dried onion
• 1 teaspoon Beau Monde seasoning (or your favorite seasoning mix)

Instructions

2. Add in the dried dill, parsley, dried onion, and Beau Monde seasoning.
3. Mix well to fully incorporate all the ingredients.

🥄 Let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a richer taste!

4. Serve with an assortment of fresh vegetables like chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, or any of your favorite dippables.

Tips & Tricks

• Make it fresh: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs instead of dried ones! Chopped chives or fresh dill can brighten it up.
• Spice it up: If you like a bit of heat, mix in some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to kick things up a notch! 🌶️
• Time-saving: For a quicker prep, use pre-cut veggies from your grocery store’s produce aisle.
• Presentation: Serve the dip in a hollowed-out bell pepper or zucchini for a fun and creative twist!

Variations

• Healthier Option: Swap sour cream and mayonnaise for Greek yogurt and avocado for a lighter, creamier version that is packed with protein! 🥑
• Flavor Add-ins: Try adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or a splash of lemon juice to enhance the dip’s flavor.
• Low-FODMAP: If you're sensitive to certain ingredients, feel free to exclude the onion or replace it with green onion tops for a milder taste.
