Notes

Note on serving size

For dips a standard serving size is typically 2 tablespoons. This is mainly to calculate the nutritional information. If tracking your calories, macros or WW Personal Points, adjust the serving size to match how much you eat!

Variations

Add more or different fresh herbs. This dip is very flexible in flavor and easy to change up. Fresh chopped basil, cilantro, thyme would all be delicious.
No fresh dill? To substitute dried dill week use 2 teaspoons. Dried herbs are stronger in flavor so the amount is reduced by about ⅓ of fresh herbs.
Add some fresh lemon juice. For some additional tang a squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds bright flavor.
Like some spice? A few splashes of hot sauce or some crushed red pepper flakes will spice up this easy dill dip.
Fresh garlic. For stronger garlic flavor add 1 clove minced fresh garlic.

How to Store

Store leftover dip in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be made beforehand just plan for a total storage time of no more than 3 days.
