Summer means Dill Dip!

I can tell summer is here because I bought cream cheese. I do not normally keep this in the refrigerator until I am ready to make the family recipe, Dill Dip. It is such a simple mix that I have used it to dip pretzels or chips or even as a flavorful spread on a sandwich.

The hardest part of making this recipe is remembering to soften the cream cheese before mixing in two to three tablespoons of milk along with garlic salt and dill to taste. Do not forget to sprinkle dill on the top for the presentation. As my mom would say, “you want to be sure people know it is dill dip.”

I admit I was never patient as a child, so I was always up for the challenge of a strong-arm exercise to get the dip to its creamy perfection. Things never change because I still do it as an adult, but the effort is worth it!
