I tried to grab all the ingredients, but I had a problem at the grocery store. During this pandemic every time I go to the grocery store the shelves are out of just want I need. I had no minced onions at home so I figured no problem I'll grab some at the grocery store, while I pick up a few other things. They were out of nearly every spice, luckily I did have onion powder at home and this recipe recommends using that instead if you are not going to make it the night before. So once I finished yet another melt down in the grocery store I grabbed my ingredients and got to work.

This is a very easy recipe so I measured out all the ingredients, and put them in a bowl ready to mix them.

Once I finished mixing this, I put it in the fridge and started getting my dippers together (yes I think I'm going to make that a word I use frequently). When I first read this recipe one of the things they suggested to dip was pickles. Anyone who knows me, knows I love pickles, so it made sense to try it.
Here is the finished product me and my bestie enjoyed this weekend, while watching Netflix!

What did I learn from this recipe? 1.) Pickles can be dipped in anything and I will love them even more, but in all honesty I used gherkin pickles and they were amazing in this Dill Dip. 2.) Just because something is called Cucumber Dip, doesn't mean cucumbers are going to mixed into it. 3.) This is a great summer snack, my friend and I devoured the whole thing! 4.) Don't stick to the usual dippers, experiment you might find that you like something besides the traditional bread and pretzels!
Here is a copy of the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Hellman's Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp dried dill
- 1/4th tsp Lawry's seasoning salt
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1 cup whole fat sour cream
- 1/8th tsp ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
Keto Cucumber Dipping Sauce
- In a bowl, add and mix up Hellmann's mayo, dried dill, Lawry's seasoning salt, dried minced onion, full fat sour cream, cracked pepper, and dried parsley.
- Once dip is thoroughly mixed, put in fridge overnight so flavors can combine and meld together. This also allows the minced onion to soften in the dip.
- Mix well just prior to serving.
- If you want to serve same day, you have to omit dried onion (or understand it will have a little crunch) and use either onion powder or real minced onions in its place for the flavor.
So what are your feelings on pickles (and this dip)? Do you love them, hate them, or never even thought about them? Until next time....
