1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
3/4 - 1 tsp Lawry's seasoning salt
1 tbsp plus 1 1/2 tsp minced dried onion
2 Tbsp dried dill weed (not PC mix)

1 cup mayo
1 cup sour cream (I usually use all sour cream or 1/2 cup mayo and 1 1/2 cups sour cream)

mix mayo and sour cream
add dry spices, stir & refrigerate overnight
serve with veggies or chips. we love this with original sun chips :love:
 
It does sound like a delicious recipe, but I HAVE to ask, why not just use our dill mix?

Never thought to serve it with Sun Chips. Excellent tip!
