recipe tips
For a smoother dip, you can blend the ingredients using a food processor or blender.
Allow the dip to chill for at least 2 hours before serving, as this helps both with the flavor and texture.
Serve the dip in a hollowed-out bread bowl for an impressive presentation.
If the dip is too thick, you can thin it with a little milk or lemon juice.
For a healthier version, try substituting Greek yogurt for part of the mayonnaise or sour cream.
Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, including fresh vegetables, chips, or bread.
Adjust the amount of Beau Monde seasoning as desired.
common recipe questions
Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried?
Yes, you can use fresh herbs. Typically, the ratio is 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs to 1 teaspoon of dried but you may need to adjust it to taste.
What is Beau Monde seasoning and is there a substitute?
Beau Monde is a spice blend that typically includes celery salt, onion powder, and other spices. If you can't find it, you can use a mix of celery salt and onion powder as a substitute.
Can I make this dip with low-fat mayonnaise and sour cream?
Yes, using low-fat alternatives will work, but it may slightly alter the texture as they typically aren't as creamy as the full-fat versions.
How long can I store this dip in the refrigerator?
It can be stored in a covered container for up to 2 days.
Is it possible to freeze this dip?
Freezing is not recommended as it will become watery when thawed.
tools needed
Mixing Bowl: For combining all the ingredients including mayonnaise, sour cream, onion, parsley, dill weed, and Beau Monde seasoning.
Measuring Cups and Spoons: For measuring the mayonnaise, sour cream, grated onion, dried parsley, dried dill, and Beau Monde seasoning.
Spatula or Wooden Spoon: For mixing the ingredients together thoroughly in the mixing bowl.
Plastic Wrap or Lid: To cover the mixing bowl after the dip is prepared, helping to seal in freshness and allowing the flavors to meld during refrigeration.
Storage Container: For storing any leftovers in the refrigerator, a covered container is needed for optimal freshness for up to 2 days.
what goes with it?
Vegetable Platter: Serve the Beau Monde Dill Dip with a variety of crunchy vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers. The freshness and crunch of the vegetables provide a perfect contrast to the creamy dip.
Crackers and Chips: Pair the dip with simple crackers or potato chips. The saltiness of the chips enhances the flavors of the dip.
Grilled Chicken Skewers: Use the dip as a sauce for grilled chicken skewers. The creaminess of the dip nicely balances the smoky flavor of the grilled chicken.
Sandwich Spread: Use the dill dip as a spread for sandwiches or wraps, especially those with turkey or roast beef. It adds moisture and a herby flavor that complements the meats well.
Pita Chips: Serve the dip with pita chips for a Mediterranean-inspired snack. The dippable, crispy texture of the pita chips works well with the creamy dip.
Fish Tacos: Use the dill dip as a sauce for fish tacos. The creamy dip pairs well with the lighter flavors of fish, adding a zesty and refreshing touch.
Baked Potatoes: Serve the dip as a topping for baked potatoes.
Grilled Zucchini: Drizzle the dill dip over grilled zucchini or other vegetables for a simple side dish. The fresh flavors of the dip bring out the natural sweetness of the vegetables.

Been making this for years only I use green and 1-2 teaspoons of beau monde. Make it the day before. It tastes much better after it has had time to sit. Itâs great with potato chips, crackers or vegetables and is an awesome sandwich spread.

I love this recipe, and have been enjoying it for 40 years! Make sure it has time to sit in the refrigerator to meld the flavors. I usually serve it in a pumpernickel bread bowl but Triscuits work well too. This is one recipe from the 70's that will never be dated.

My first taste of Beau Monde Dill Dip occurred during an early autumn weekend in the mid-1970s. It was during the Annual Old Timers Day Party at the Seven Hills Skydivers Drop Zone (Mathaire Field) in York Center, Wisconsin. The airfield was named for Alton Mather, whose farm was located on the west side of Highway 73, across from the airfield and the Seven Hills' facilities on the east side of the highway. Alton was an excellent pilot and would carry skydivers to altitude in Seven Hills' 1956 Cessna 182, "Super 5" (N5555B), for many years. Bernetta, Alton's wife, brought this wonderful concoction to the party, which was centered on a spanferkel. Later during the next week, I called her for the recipe and have been recreating her wonderful dip for family and friends for decades.

I've been making this dip for years and get asked for the recipe everytime I take it to a family dinner or potluck. The most recent comment came from my world-traveller niece claiming it was "stellar!" It's quick, easy and so scrumptous we could eat it with a spoon but
