Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker dip, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. If you don't have Beau Monde seasoning, a mix of celery salt, onion powder, and a hint of paprika can work as a substitute. Adjust the dill weed according to your taste preference; some may prefer a stronger dill flavor. This dip is perfect for a game day snack or as a side for your favorite American recipes.
