The Best Veggie Dip

If you've been following the blog for a while, you may know by now I'm a bit obsessed with dip recipes, and I can honestly say that this veggie dip has become my new favorite. 

This simple dip recipe is perfectly balanced with tangy sour cream, creamy mayonnaise, and some essential kitchen spices to pack it with flavor. And I just love how it pairs with everything from fresh veggies to tortilla chips to crackers and more!

Gah, it's just so good, and it's effortless to make too! I mean, all you have to do is add all of the ingredients into a bowl, mix 'em all up, and then refrigerate the dip until you're ready to serve it.

By the way, while you let it chill in the fridge, you can whip up some of these air fryer tortilla chips to have with the dip. That's what I usually do anyway. 

Ingredients

The ingredient list for this veggie dip recipe is super simple. In fact, they're all pretty much kitchen/pantry staples. Honestly, I'm willing to bet you already have most - if not all - them on hand already!

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

• ½ cup regular mayonnaise
• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ tablespoon dried parsley
• ½ tablespoon dried dill weed
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ¼ teaspoon paprika powder
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Pretty simple stuff, right?

By the way, if you have these ingredients, then you're well on your way to making this cream cheese dip recipe as well. So, if you need a second dip to put out, that one is a piece of cake to make too.

Ingredient Substitutions And Suggestions

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

Mayonnaise & Sour Cream Swaps And Substitutes

This recipe calls for equal portions of sour cream and mayonnaise, and I recommend using the full fat options of both. However, if you want to, you can also use low fat sour cream and light mayo to cut down on the fat in the dip. It just won't have as rich of a texture and flavor if you do, but it will make it more of a healthy veggie dip since it'll cut down on calories.

As for a substitute for the sour cream, you can also use plain Greek yogurt instead of it. The dip will have a slightly different - more tangy flavor - but it'll stay taste delicious. I've actually made this substitution a few times when I've been in a pinch and out of sour cream.

Use Fresh Herbs

When it comes to herbs, you can use either dried or fresh herbs or any combination of the two. I've made this dip both with dried dill and parsley and fresh dill and parsley - both ways were delicious.

What I will say though, is that if you decide to use fresh herbs, you'll want to grind them up in a mortar and pestle before adding them to the dip.  

How To Make Vegetable Dip

Now it's time for the fun part - making this easy veggie dip recipe!

And, as I already mentioned, it really couldn't be easier to make this dip. You basically just combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, mix 'em up until they're combined and creamy, and then refrigerate 'em until it's time to serve.

Yup, it's that simple!

Anyway, let's stop wasting time and get into how to make this veggie dip, shall we?!

Step 1: Combine The Ingredients

First things first, you'll want to take out a large bowl along with all of the ingredients.

Then, you can add the mayonnaise, sour cream, dried parsley, dried dill weed, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to the bowl.

Now mix all of the ingredients together until they fully combine, and you have a smooth dip. Also, at this point, you can give it a quick taste test and adjust the seasonings as you see fit. 

Step 2: Refrigerate The Dip

Once the dip tastes good to you, you can go ahead and cover the bowl with plastic wrap - or a lid - and refrigerate it until you're ready to serve it. This will just help let all of the flavors meld together. 

Now, just so you know, you technically can serve the dip immediately, but it definitely is going to taste better if you allow it to be refrigerated, so be patient!

Step 3: Serve The Dip

When you're ready to serve the best veggie dip ever, just take it out of the fridge and serve it cold with your favorite veggies, chips, crackers, and anything else you want.

Enjoy!
