1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 Tbsp. Beau Monde seasoning*
1/2 Tbsp. dried dill weed
1/2 Tbsp. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. onion powder**
1/2 tsp. garlic powder**
Mix together and, for best results, refrigerate overnight. Any raw vegetable can be dipped, and it's also not bad on potato chips.
For easy measuring, make a triple recipe using 8-oz packages of sour cream and mayonnaise and 1 1/2 Tbsp or tsp of the seasonings. I'm pretty sure you could substitute yogurt for the sour cream and soy or vegan mayonnaise for the regular mayo if you wish, but I CANNOT recommend substituting Miracle Whip for the mayonnaise -- the result is far too sweet.

*a proprietary blend from Spice Islands; one suggested substitution is equal parts celery salt and garlic powder.
**These amounts are for grocery store spices; if you get fresher powders from someplace like Buck's or Penzey's, start with about half the amount of garlic and onion powders.
Adapted from: Dorothy Huffman, who probably got it from a Spice Islands package or ad.
