Today's recipe is one that I remember my mom making back when I was a child. This easy Beau Monde dip was one that she served at all the parties and get-togethers my parents used to have. I really did no know what Beau Monde was until later and if you are wondering
What is Beau Monde?
It is a spice blend that was made by the Spice Islands spice company. While you can read the ingredients - garlic, clove, bay leaf, nutmeg, and allspice, I have to say that I think it is a wonderful, delicious flavor combination.
I am enjoying the gatherings that allow me to connect with friends and family at this time of year. I hope that you are enjoying your celebrations. I want to share with you an oldie but goodie party dip recipe that is great for a game day, party appetizer or shower dish.
If you have never used Beau Monde, I encourage you to try it. I have a link below. This dill dip is great with chips and vegetables.
I loved it the first time I tried it because the dill flavor is wonderful! This dip is great with potato chips, pita chips, vegetables and even bread!
I love that this dip is a nice alternative to onion dips and it is kind of addicting, so you have been warned. I first posted this recipe back during the first year of the blog, but I have updated the photos. Thankfully, my photography has improved since I first started this blog.
I love this versatile dip!
I love that this recipe incorporates the lovely flavors of onion, dill weed, and other spices.

I have a very similar recipe I got years ago from Wegmans. This recipe is also delicious with cubed pumpernickel or rye bread!

Never heard of this beau monde either! Can I get it at any supermarket here in SoCal? My favorite dip is the dill one my dad always makes, I'm not sure what's in it except dill and deliciousness!

Okay, I am not a good cook at all, but this looks like something I could actually do and be able to say "I brought something homemade!" SCORE!! I don't know what Beau Monde tastes like, but if it goes with chips and veggies, I'm in!
Organizedisland
It is really good Ashley! I think you will enjoy it! Hope you have a good weekend.

My mom has been making this for years. I have never seen a recipe for it or heard of anyone else making it until I saw this. The only difference is she uses real diced onion. We always eat it with cucumbers. It is yummy!!
Organizedisland
Oh I like that she uses fresh onions Kim! Yes it really is great with veggies, chips & crackers. Thanks for sharing!

I hear that - I look at photography I did only a few months ago and shudder. It's nice to grow!
I totally didn't know what Beau Monde was! I asked Cassidy as a trivia question and he didn't know but I'm glad you told us. I think it's a win!
Raquel
It used to be really popular - ask you mom next time you see her. 🙂
