Pro Tip to Make Fresh Dill Dip
Dill dip tastes significantly better after it rests. Mix everything together, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (and up to overnight). This gives the dill, garlic, and onion time to bloom and meld into the creamy base, turning a good dip into a great one. If you taste it right away and think it’s missing something, let it chill — the flavor deepens beautifully.
