Note

For best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Substitute fresh dill with 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed if fresh is unavailable.

Add a splash of hot sauce or a dash of black pepper for a spicy kick.
