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!
