Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Beau Monde seasoning, See notes below for a homemade version recipe.
  • 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

  • Add the sour cream, mayo, Beau Monde seasoning, dried onion, chives, parsley, and dill to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together until they're completely smooth and well combined.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

These simple tips will help ensure perfect results every time.
  • Use full-fat dairy. Full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise create the richest flavor and creamiest texture.
  • Don't skip the chill time. The dip tastes noticeably better after resting for at least an hour, and even better the next day.
  • Use dried minced onion instead of onion powder. It softens beautifully as it chills, giving the dip little bursts of onion flavor and texture.
  • Stir before serving. A quick stir redistributes any moisture that may have settled while the dip chilled.
  • Taste before adding more seasoning. Beau Monde seasoning brands can vary slightly in saltiness. Start with the recipe as written, let it sit for at least an hour, or even longer, then adjust to suit your taste.
  • Make it ahead. This is one of those rare appetizers that's actually better after spending a night in the refrigerator.
