  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped)

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for freshness)

  2. Add the Seasonings – Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dill, Worcestershire sauce, everything bagel seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Chill for Flavor – Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Make it lighter: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and light cream cheese for a healthier version.
  • Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a little heat.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
