How to Make Homemade Veggie Dip

1. Preparation: Start by gathering all your ingredients. If using fresh parsley, finely chop it to measure out 2 teaspoons.
2. Combining Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sour cream and 1 cup of mayonnaise. Stir them together until you achieve a smooth and uniform consistency.
3. Adding Spices and Herbs: To the creamy mixture, add 2 teaspoons each of seasoning salt, dill weed, and parsley. Make sure to sprinkle evenly to distribute the flavors. Follow this by adding 3 tablespoons of onion flakes.
4. Seasoning: Finish off by adding a dash of pepper. This might seem minor, but it’s crucial for rounding out the flavors.
5. Mixing: With all ingredients in the bowl, use a whisk or a spatula to mix thoroughly. Make sure every ingredient is well incorporated, leaving no streaks of mayonnaise or sour cream.
