💡Tips
1. Adjust The Consistency
Sometimes, the dip might be thicker or thinner than you want. If it’s too thick, you can add a little bit of water or lemon juice. Add just a teaspoon at a time and mix well. Keep doing this until you get the consistency you like.
If the dip is too thin, you can add more sour cream or mayonnaise. Again, add just a little at a time. Mix it in well before you decide if you need to add more. Remember, the dip will get a bit thicker after it chills in the fridge.
2. Ensure All Ingredients Are At Room Temperature
Before you start mixing your dip, it’s a good idea to let the sour cream and mayonnaise come to room temperature. This way they will blend together much more smoothly. If you use them straight from the fridge, you might end up with little lumps in your dip.
It doesn’t take long to bring them to room temperature – just take them out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you plan to make the dip.
3. Let The Dip Chill For The Best Taste
After you mix all the ingredients together, it’s best to let the dip chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This waiting time is important. It allows all the flavors to blend together and get stronger. If you can, try to make the dip a day ahead. The taste will be even better after sitting in the fridge overnight.

FAQ
1. How long does this dip last in the fridge?
This dip can last in the fridge for about 3-4 days when stored properly. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
2. Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried ones?
Yes, you can use fresh herbs instead of dried ones! Fresh herbs will give your dip a brighter, more vibrant flavor. However, you’ll need to use more fresh herbs than dried ones because dried herbs are more concentrated.
3. What can I use instead of mayonnaise?
If you don’t want to use mayonnaise, you can try Greek yogurt. It is a popular substitute that will keep the dip creamy while adding some tanginess. Obviously it won’t taste the same as a dip made from mayo.
