On our farm, my garden is exploding with all kinds of fresh veggies: Carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and more!
I think everyone can admit that veggies are better straight from the garden, and I think we can also admit they are better when they are dunked in some kind of dip! Dill Dip is a game changer when it comes to serving all that fresh produce.
My youngest loves to be in the garden with me… Well, maybe he loves to be in the garden without me even more! He wanders in from the farm several times a day and grabs a little snack. He claims carrots taste better with dirt still on them and doesn’t even bother washing them off in the hose first. He’s pretty healthy so maybe he’s onto something!

The hardest part of making it is letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours while you wait for all the flavors to marry one another.
