    What is Dill Seasoning?

    Dill Seasoning is a savory, herby blend that has notes of citrus. It makes simple vegetables shine, adds dimension to fish, adds freshness to salads, and makes the most incredible vegetable dill dip.

    Dill Seasoning is not a seasoning blend that most people purchase often or keep on hand in their pantry. But once you try this simple blend of dried spices, you will never go without it again!

    why you will love this recipe

    • Adds Flavor. Dill Seasoning is a bright seasoning filled with notes of dill and onion. It can be used in endless ways to add incredible flavor to otherwise simple dishes.
    • Made with Simple Ingredients. You likely have the ingredients on hand right now in our spice cabinet to make Dill Seasoning.
    • Quality Control. When you prepare spice blends at home, YOU control the quality of ingredients, added sodium, and the level of spice.
    • Made for Pennies. With just a few simple dried herbs and salt, you can whip up homemade dill seasoning for mere pennies.

    Ingredients in Dill Seasoning

    Spices for Dill Seasoning in white dish on counter.
    • Dried Dill: Dried Dill Weed packs in a tremendous amount of flavor and is more affordable than using fresh dill. Plus, using a dried herb, allows you to keep this spice blend on hand for months, rather than having to use it immediately.
    • Dried Parsley: Believe it or not, dried parsley actually adds quite a bit of flavor and fresh notes to this spice blend.
    • Onion Flakes: Dried Onion Flakes add a distinct onion flavor to this spice blend, so be sure to use dried onion flakes, not onion powder for best results.
    • Salt: I prefer using kosher salt when I made my spice blends, as kosher salt enhances the flavor of foods instead of making them simply taste salty. For additional flavor, feel free to replace the salt with seasoned salt.

    ∗ important to remember ∗

    For optimum flavor, be sure you use dried herbs that are no more than 6 months old. As spices sit in the pantry, they begin to lose their flavor. 

    How to Store Dill Seasoning

    Once combined, Dill Seasoning, just like any homemade spice blend, is best stored in an airtight container, in a cool dark place (like the pantry or spice cabinet) for up to 6 months.

    How To Use Dill Seasoning

    Whether used to season fish, vegetables, dips, or potatoes, the options for using Homemade Dill Seasoning are endless. Below are some of my favorite ways to use this herby spice blend.

    • Use dill seasoning to quickly whip up Homemade Dill Dip to serve with vegetables or crackers.
    • Replace salt with dill seasoning prior to roasting vegetables, such as roasted carrots, roasted asparagus, or roasted broccoli.
    • Season potatoes, such as Oven Roasted Potatoes, Smashed Potatoes, Homemade Oven Fries, or Air Fryer Potatoes, with dill seasoning in place of salt.
    • Dill Seasoning makes a fabulous seasoning for fish in recipes like Easy Baked Cod or Pan-Seared Tilapia.
    • Use this Homemade Dill seasoning to add flavor to salads such as Mediterranean Chickpea Salad or Mediterranean Couscous.

      Awesome recipe, very simple! I like the overall flavor, it's perfect for dip, has a smooth taste meaning not too powerful, and you if like it a little more mild it's easy to add more sour cream.

      What would you suggest to add to give it a little more potent flavor for say a dry rub or seasoning for chicken wings? Possibly powdered Ranch, powdered vinegar, or maybe dry lemon?

      Just a little potent a small kick is all, something that helps grab the taste buds a little, make you go "Mmmm what is that"? but not over the top. Any ideas?

      Thanks,
      Kris

        Hi Kris. I am so happy to hear you enjoy the flavor of the dill seasoning. I have not worked with powdered so I can't speak to either of those. I have a recipe for dried ranch seasoning you could try, but I would lean towards using lemon. I prefer adding fresh lemon zest to the seasoning right before cooking the chicken. However, you could experiment with adding the dried lemon. I would start with a small amount, say 1/8-1/4 teaspoon, as it could easily overpower the dill.

        Hi Lanice. I am sorry you found this too salty. In the future, I would then suggest using 1/4 teaspoon salt instead of 1/2 teaspoon salt.

      I'm so into making my own seasoning - it's one less plastic/ glass bottle to buy on a regular basis and so easy to do. This goes great on fish - thanks for sharing this recipe.

      How much of the dill seasoning goes into the sour cream and mayo? All in the recipe above?

      Do you have a recipe for a larger quantity? 4 or 8 oz.?

        Hi Twyla! Yes, the entire recipe goes into 2 cups (or 16 ounces) of dip. Are you looking for a larger recipe for the dip or for the actual mix?

          Sorry to not get back sooner. A larger recipe for the actual mix.
          Since I love dill dip for my veggies, it would be great to have a pint jar full already mixed up so you could just mix it in the sour cream and go.

            Hey Twyla! So you would mix together 1 cup parsley, 1 cup dried onion, 1/3 cup dill, and 1/3 cup salt. For every cup of dip, you would mix in 1 tablespoon of mix. Hope that helps!
