It’s not a party without a party dip! This Beau Monde Dill Dip is the perfect addition to your menu. It’s quick to make, has just five ingredients, and you and your family will love it. The simple combination of dill and Beau Monde seasoning jazzes up sour cream and mayo in a surprisingly flavorful way!

I can’t even count how many church cookbooks from the 70s and 80s have this dip. It definitely had a moment in those decades (for good reason!).

The dip is also great for meal prep. It stores well in the fridge, and you can portion it out into single-serve containers with veggies for enjoying all week long.

What You’ll need

ingredients for beau monde dip.
  • Beau Monde seasoning is the star of this dish. It’s made with celery seed, salt, and dried onion. Some versions may have allspice or ground bay leaves, too. The Spice Islands brand of it is available at Walmart, Amazon, and many grocery stores. If you don’t have it, I’ve substituted seasoned salt with good results, or you can make a homemade beau monde seasoning.
  • Fresh dill is my first choice for this recipe, but dried dill works, too!
  • Full-fat mayo and sour cream will make the creamiest versions of this dip, but low-fat can be substituted.
  • White or yellow onion works well here. Thinly sliced green onion would be tasty, too!

How to make Beau Monde Dill Dip

Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh dill, diced onion, and Beau Monde seasoning into a large bowl.

Stir everything together and transfer to a serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to come together.

When you’re ready to serve it, surround the dip with assorted fresh veggies.

Notes

Don’t have Beau Monde seasoning? Make your own with this recipe or substitute seasoned salt (plus a little crushed celery seed if you have it). 
You can use low-fat varieties of both the mayo and sour cream, if you’d like. You can also swap Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
Make it ahead: prepare the dip up to 2 days in advance of serving. Cover and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve it. Do not freeze (it’ll separate when defrosted).
