My husband's favorite! He goes in spurts where every night for a week or two he will want dill dip and potato chips for a snack in the evening. I am happy to make it for him when I can find the soup and dip mix, but it is getting more difficult to find around here. Does anyone have a good recipe from scratch where I could substitute fat-free sour cream or maybe even part yogurt? With some carrot and celery strips, then I could have some, too.

Meg,
here is a recipe that I have used:

Dill Dip with Crudites

1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons Spice Island Salad Seasoning
2 tablespoons dill weed
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Assorted fresh vegetables

Combine first eight ingredients; blend well.Chill at least 4 hours to allow flavors to blend. Serve with assorted vegetables for dipping.
Yield: 3 cups to dip

Trina-

That sounds yummy! I will have to try it as soon as I get to the store for the sour cream.

Meg,

Here is a tasty and low-cal recipe:

I have made this with dried dill weed, which is what I usually have available. I used about 1 tablespoon, I think, but that is a definately a "to taste" thing. I omit the salt. I never add this much salt to anything and never miss it. Instead, I also add a little pepper, a sprinkle of onion flakes and parsley.

Enjoy,
