CLASSIC VEGETABLE DIP

Welcome to the classic vegetable dip that never gets old – the perfect addition to any dinner, party, or holiday gathering! I’m thrilled to share my favorite vegetable dip recipe, a mix of simplicity and a creamy, rich flavor.

It’s incredibly easy to make and surprisingly adaptable, whether you’re hosting a crowd or just craving a flavorful snack. Packed with taste in every scoop, you’ll find that a little goes a long way in elevating your vegetables to an entirely new level of deliciousness!

Best Veggie Dip Ingredients

  • Sour Cream: Provides a rich and creamy foundation, complementing the herbs and spices in the dip.
  • Mayonnaise: Enhances the creaminess and adds a subtle richness, balancing the tang of the sour cream.
  • Seasoning Salt: Adds a savory depth and a touch of saltiness.
  • Dill Weed: Introduces a delicate, slightly grassy note.
  • Parsley: Brings a light, fresh herbal quality that brightens the dip’s flavor.
  • Onion Flakes: Offer a concentrated onion taste, adding dimension without overpowering the other ingredients.
  • Pepper: Provides a subtle spicy undertone.

Vegetable Dip Recipe Substitutions

If you want to make it a little healthier, feel free to substitute the mayonnaise for some Greek Yogurt! I obviously prefer it with mayonnaise, but I was surprised how much I still enjoyed the Greek Yogurt version!

This Easy Vegetable Dip is full of flavor and makes the best appetizer or side dish! From overthebigmoon.com!

How to Make Homemade Veggie Dip

  1. Preparation: Start by gathering all your ingredients. If using fresh parsley, finely chop it to measure out 2 teaspoons.
  2. Combining Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sour cream and 1 cup of mayonnaise. Stir them together until you achieve a smooth and uniform consistency.
  3. Adding Spices and Herbs: To the creamy mixture, add 2 teaspoons each of seasoning salt, dill weed, and parsley. Make sure to sprinkle evenly to distribute the flavors. Follow this by adding 3 tablespoons of onion flakes.
  4. Seasoning: Finish off by adding a dash of pepper. This might seem minor, but it’s crucial for rounding out the flavors.
  5. Mixing: With all ingredients in the bowl, use a whisk or a spatula to mix thoroughly. Make sure every ingredient is well incorporated, leaving no streaks of mayonnaise or sour cream.

Best Veggie Dip Variations & Add-Ins

Looking to elevate this classic vegetable dip to new heights of deliciousness? In this section, I’m sharing some fun variations you can try! This allows you to tailor this vegetable dip to fit with any type of dinner you’re serving with these easy-to-follow ideas!

  • Cheesy Vegetable Dip: Add ½ cup of grated Parmesan or sharp cheddar cheese for a rich, cheesy twist.
  • Spicy Kick Vegetable Dip: Mix in 1-2 teaspoons of hot sauce or sriracha or 1 teaspoon of chili flakes for a fresh, spicy touch.
  • Garlic Vegetable Dip: Add 1-2 minced garlic cloves or ½ teaspoon of garlic powder for a garlic-forward dip..
  • Mediterranean Vegetable Dip: Stir in ¼ cup of chopped olives, either Kalamata or green, for a Mediterranean flair.
  • Bacon Ranch Vegetable Dip: Mix in ¼ cup of cooked, crumbled bacon for a savory, meaty version. Add 1 tablespoon of dry ranch dressing mix for an extra flavor boost.
  • Sun-Dried Tomato & Artichoke Vegetable Dip: Mix in ¼ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and marinated artichoke hearts for a tangy, rich vegetable dip.
  • Greek Yogurt Base: If you want to make this dip a bit healthier without sacrificing flavor, consider substituting the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.

How to Serve Homemade Veggie Dip

I love to put out some trimmed veggies and this delicious vegetable dip on the table before my kids get home from school and they willingly devour their vegetables!

Vegetable Dip Storage

Airtight Container: Transfer the dip into an airtight container. This is crucial to prevent the dip from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator and to maintain its freshness.

Refrigerate Promptly: Place the container in the refrigerator. and refrigerate.

Consume Within 3-4 Days: Ideally, consume the dip within 3-4 days. Beyond this time, the quality won’t be as good and it may no longer be safe to consume.

Stir Before Serving: When you take the dip out to serve again, give it a good stir. Some separation of ingredients is normal, especially for dips containing mayonnaise and sour cream.

Avoid Freezing: It’s not recommended to freeze this dip as the texture can change significantly. Dairy-based dips can become grainy and separate when thawed.

    I only used a little over 1/2 tsp. of Lawry’s seasoning salt and it was plenty salty. I didn’t have enough sour cream so I used about 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt and 2/3 cup of sour cream to make the 1 cup. I did use 1 cup of Mayo. Yummy dip!

    This is my favorite dip for fresh veggies. I have a family member who is allergic to onion flakes so I use finely chopped sweet onion when I make it.

    I made this to serve at a BBQ we hosted a few weeks ago. It’s very easy to make and so delicious! I served it with baby carrots, broccoli florets and bell pepper strips. We also discovered that it’s amazing spread on crackers too! I kept it healthy by using light sour cream and light mayo. Everyone enjoyed it!

    I love dips that have dill! In fact, I heard there was a limited edition dill essential oil and it was amazing in a dip I tried. I’m guessing you could go lowfat on the sour cream and mayo, right? And I don’t have onion flakes, so maybe onion salt would work instead?
    Thanks for sharing!
