Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley flakes, dill weed, seasoned salt, and minced onion well.
- Refrigerate for a while before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, which will add a tangy flavor. If you want to cut down on calories, opt for light mayonnaise. Fresh dill can be used in place of dried for a brighter taste, but adjust the quantity since fresh herbs are more potent. Allowing the dip to chill enhances the flavors, making it a great appetizer for gatherings.
