About THIS DILL DIP RECIPE
There have been times when I've made this simple dill dip recipe at the last minute just because it's so easy to prepare and doesn't take more than ten minutes in the kitchen.
And this dill dip isn't just easy to prepare, it's also versatile. When I've made this at the last moment, I've sometimes used dried dill weed when I didn't have fresh dill in my kitchen.
Dill is one of the dried herbs to always have in the spice rack!
One thing you'll love about cold appetizers like this simple dill dip is that you can often make them the day before the event.
Oftentimes the flavors just get better when the herbs are given time to infuse the yogurt.
Ingredients
- Fresh Dill
- Onion
- English Cucumber
- Mayonnaise
- Greek Yogurt

How to make Dill Dip
This creamy dip can be made in less than 10 minutes.
The next step is important! Cucumbers contain a lot of water. And you want to make sure that your dip doesn't get watered down.
- Chop the dill and onion.
- Peel the cucumber and cut in half. Use a spoon to remove the seeds.
- Combine the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. If desired season with salt and pepper.
Fun Fact: Cucumbers contain over 95% of water! Which is why they are so low in calories. An entire cucumber has only 45 calories. And even by themselves, cucumbers are a great snack.
How to serve Dill Dip
Dips can make a table look more festive or more formal. It all depends on how you decide to serve it. It seems there are dip platters to suit all occasions.
And there are even several great travel dip platters that are perfect to take to a picnic.
This is one of my favorite dip platters. And it could be that I could be accused of owning too many of them! This is my favorite wooden dip platter I use for parties at home.
Can you freeze Cucumber Dill Dip Recipe?
If you make dill dip just using Greek yogurt, it'll be perfectly fine to freeze it. But if you're adding mayonnaise to your dill dip, don't try to freeze it.
When you freeze food that includes mayonnaise, the consistency changes. The mayonnaise will separate during the thawing process. And as a result, the dill dip won't have the right texture and or look very appealing.
How long is dill dip good for?
You can keep the dip in your refrigerator for 3 days. If you notice any separation, just give it a quick stir before serving.
