When you plan your summer get-togethers, whether they’re family picnics, large cookouts and potlucks, or simple outdoor meals, be sure to include a summery dip that you can serve with your favorite raw veggies and chips. Like this Lemon-Dill Dip! The lemon-dill flavor is great for this time of year, and it’s so easy to make!
I like serving this dip with baby carrots and cucumbers, but you could also serve it with broccoli florets, sliced zucchini or squash, sugar snap peas, or bell pepper, cut into strips for dipping. It’s also good with potato chips, tortilla chips, pretzels and crackers, too—use your favorite kind!

Easy recipes like this are great for summer, and if you’re growing your own fresh veggies in your garden, this dip is a great way to use and enjoy them!
One of the things I love about summer is that it’s a season where life slows down a little and we take time for rest and enjoy the outdoors more. It’s a season that reminds me of Psalm 23:2–3 (GNT): He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water. He gives me new strength. Hope you are enjoying the refreshment of these slower and longer summer days!
