Ingredients

  • Sour Cream – The base of this simple dip. I don't always share brand preferences, but in this case, I only use Knudsen Sour Cream. And none of that fat free nonsense! Go for the full fat – it just tastes better.
  • Mayonnaise – I add a little bit of mayo to my dips because it makes them extra creamy. If you're not a fan you can leave it out.
  • Dried herbs – I added dried parsley and dried dill. Fresh would be great if you have it on hand. Just double the amount, or add even more if you like.
  • Garlic powder – I used the granulated garlic because it will blend into the sour cream better than fresh minced garlic. If you want to use fresh, mince it really fine and just add about half a clove.
  • Dried Minced Onion – You can find this in a bottle in the spice section of the grocery store. I like it in dips because it gives a real onion flavor without using fresh onion, which is too harsh in a dip.

FAQs

How long can dip be left out?

Most foods, including this dip, should not be left out longer than 2 hours.

How long is this dip good for?

Sour cream dips will stay fresh for 4-5 days. If it looks watery, just stir it up and it will be good as new.

Can sour cream dips be frozen?

Sour cream and mayo do not freeze well, so I don't recommend freezing. If you don't think you'll use the whole batch, you can easily cut the recipe in half.

Expert Tips

  • For the best tasting result, chill your dip at least 2 hours.
  • Kettle style potato chips or chips with ridges (like Ruffles) are the best for dipping.
  • Other seasonings to try: paprika (it will turn your dip pink so keep that in mind), garlic salt, fresh chives, cilantro.
  • Dippers: potato chips, mini pretzels, pita chips, tortilla chips, Naan, carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes.
  • Make Ahead: You can make this dip a day or two prior to serving. Keep in the fridge in an airtight container and transfer to a serving bowl when you're ready to serve.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
