    I thought I liked every herb dip known to man, but this one disappointed me. My family said the same thing. Something is missing.

    Made this over the weekend and it was delicious - lots of compliments. I used light mayo, light sour cream and light cream cheese and didn't miss the extra calories. On the advice of other reviewers, I made it a day in advance to let the flavors develop. The fresh herbs made such a difference and the flavors were so robust. I predict I will make this again and again.

    I LOVE this recipe. I did modify it slightly, though. I only used two scallions instead of four, as my husband doesn't care for too much onion flavor. Also, I used a teaspoon of salt - and I felt like I could have used less. I used olive oil mayo, regular cream cheese and light sour cream. We will be using this one quite often during football season this year.

    Fabulous! So easy & everyone loves it. I did switch to rosemary instead of dill because that's what we prefer. It's my go-to dip for sure!

    Oh my! I'm a dill lover, but I had no idea how good this dip would be. I made a few minor adjustments because I wasn't in my own kitchen, plus I wanted the dip to be low-fat. I substituted the following: reduced fat cream cheese; 16 ounces of light sour cream; a small, red onion, finely chopped; about a 1/4 cup of each herb; and I used her recommended amount of pepper.

    Now, I admit that after I mixed the dip and tasted it to adjust the seasonings, I was a bit worried because it tasted like salty-nothingness, but after letting the flavors develop overnight, it was amazing. I'll continue to make this dip for a quick snack here and there.

    Don't be fooled by its simplicity--it has amazing flavor.

    I love this recipe, but have found that you need WAAAAAY less salt than what it calls for. I would start with 1/4 tsp and adjust upwards from there if you need to.

    I made this for two parties I was attending and the entire dip was gone by the time I left. Everyone loved it! The flavor the fresh herbs give to the dish are incredible! Will definitely make this again!

    I didn't have cream cheese on hand, so I used 1 cup sour cream and 2/3 cup mayonnaise. The blend of herbs is perfect. I'm looking for reasons to make this again. Delicious!

    I make this the day before to let the flavors develop. I also add whatever other fresh herbs I have on hand - tarragon, cilantro, thyme, etc. This christmas I am going to dice up some red and green peppers very finely and sprinkle on the top as decoration. I also use mini christmas shape cutters to cut out shapes from tortillas and bake briefly to crisp up. A big wow factor all round for about 10 minutes effort!
