You can certainly eat it right away, but giving the dip a little time in the refrigerator makes a noticeable difference. The dried herbs and onion begin to soften, and all those savory flavors have a chance to blend together.
Let It ChillThe recipe calls for just 30 minutes of chilling, but don't be afraid to make it a few hours ahead of time. The flavors continue to develop as it rests.Use a Good MayonnaiseSince mayonnaise makes up half of the creamy base, use a mayonnaise you enjoy the flavor of. A good-quality mayonnaise will make a difference in the finished dip.Don't Forget the Onion FlakesThe dried onion flakes may seem like a small ingredient, but they add both flavor and texture. They also soften as the dip chills.Taste After ChillingIf you want to adjust the seasoning, wait until the dip has chilled. The flavors change as the herbs and seasonings have time to mingle.
