I'm tired of eating plain salty chips! So i was looking around the kitchen and stuff and found a recipe for a simple dip. It's nothing special, just something u can whip up really quickly and enjoy the simple taste.

Note: "This dip is definitely better if you make it one day ahead. It can be easily halved, because it makes so much!"

* 1 tablespoon dried parsley
* 3 tablespoons grated onion
* 3 tablespoons dried dill weed
* 1 1/2 tablespoons seasoning salt

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, onion, dill weed, and salt. Mix all together, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
