    The Best Sour Cream Dip

    I've made quite a few dip recipes lately, but this easy sour cream dip might just be my all-time favorite. I mean, it just has the perfect balance of fresh, tangy, and savory flavors, and it's also perfectly thick and creamy.

    Honestly, it kind of reminds me of the sour cream and onion dip that you can get from the grocery store, except it's even better. And it's a breeze to make too. Seriously, all you have to do to make it is mix the simple ingredients in one bowl, and as I mentioned, the entire recipe will take about 1 minute to whip up.

    How great does that sound?!

    Now, another reason I love this homemade dip is that it tastes incredible with a variety of dippers, like tortilla chips, raw veggies, potato chips, pretzels, bread slices, and so much more. So it really makes the perfect appetizer for hosting since everyone will be able to find something they like to dip into it!

    Ingredients

    As I said, the ingredient list for this sour cream dip is super simple. In fact, I'm willing to bet you already have most - if not all - of the ingredients you'll need to make it on hand already!

    Anyway, here's everything you'll need to make this sour cream dip:

    • 8oz. sour cream
    • 1 tbsp onion powder
    • ½ tbsp dried parsley
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp dried dill weed
    • 1 tsp mustard
    • Salt to taste
    • ½ tsp paprika powder, optional

    Simple stuff, right?

    By the way, if you have extra sour cream after making this recipe and want to make another easy dip recipe, you can use it to make this crack dip! It's a delicious ranch-based dip with bacon and shredded cheddar cheese, and it's truly the perfect complement to this sour cream dip.

    An assortment of ingredients including bowls of spices, sour cream, mustard, chips, salt and pepper shakers, and a bunch of fresh herbs.

    Ingredient Substitutions And Suggestions

    Now, I really think this sour cream dip recipe turns out best when it's made with the ingredients listed above. But with that said, you can customize this recipe to suit your preferences and possibly save you a trip to the store!

    Sour Cream To Use

    Since this is a sour cream dip recipe, we will - of course - use sour cream as the main ingredient. I recommend using full fat sour cream to give it that extra rich and creamy texture. But, with that said, you can definitely use low fat sour cream for a lighter version or even swap half the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt to give the dip a protein boost.

    Experiment With Add Ons

    If you want to ramp up the flavor in this chip dip recipe, you can add all sorts of ingredients.

    To make a Mexican sour cream dip, add some fresh salsa, lime juice, and a little shredded Mexican cheese. And to turn this into a sour cream and onion dip, just stir in some caramelized onions and green onions.

    How To Make Sour Cream Dip

    Honestly, making this sour cream dip couldn't be any simpler. All you have to do is add and mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and it's ready to go.

    Sounds super easy right?! Well, that's because it is.

    Anyway, let's stop wasting time and make some sour cream dip from scratch!

    Step 1: Combine The Ingredients

    First things first, you'll want to take out a large bowl and add the sour cream, mustard, onion powder, dried parsley, garlic powder, dried dill week, a little salt, and paprika - if you're using it - to it.

    Then, you'll want to mix all these ingredients together with a whisk - or rubber spatula - for about a minute until they fully combine and you have a perfectly smooth dip.

    Step 2: Refrigerate The Dip

    Once your dip is looking good, you can give it a taste and adjust any seasonings as you see necessary. Then you'll want to refrigerate the dip for about 1-2 hours before serving to enhance the mixed flavors.

    Step 3: Serve The Chip Dip

    When you're ready to serve your sour cream dip, you can take it out of the fridge and serve it cold. You can eat it with carrot sticks, celery sticks, potato chips, crust bread, and anything else you want.

    Enjoy!

    How To Store Sour Cream Dip

    This recipe for sour cream dip makes 6 servings, so it should be the perfect amount to serve as a small appetizer at a party. 

    That said, if you're planning on having a big get-together, then you might want to double up on this recipe. Trust me, after everyone gives the dip a try, it'll be gone in minutes!

    Anyway, if you end up with some leftover sour cream dip, you can transfer it to an airtight container and store the dip in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    Oh, and since this chip dip stores so well, you can make it days in advance.

    Wrapping It Up

    Well, that's how to make sour cream dip from scratch in just 1 minute! 

    Honestly, I know I'm biased, but I think this is the best dip made with sour cream out there. It's just so fresh, so flavorful, so creamy, and it goes great with practically everything. The fact that it comes together so easily is just an added bonus.

    Anyway, this sour cream dip has become one of my family's favorites to serve at parties. I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do.

      I'm wanting to make this dip recipe but I'm wondering if the mustard is dry mustard or jarred? It says, I think zesty mustard or something like that so I'm not sure. Hoping to hear from you soon but I guess if I don't I'll just add a little bit of dry mustard at a time. Thanks
