This simple dip recipe comes together fast and you most likely already have all the ingredients!

  • Mayo – We use Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise, but you can use your favorite mayo.
  • Sour cream – Regular or light sour cream can be used.
  • Lemon juice – Gives the dip a hint of tanginess
  • Seasonings – Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and onion powder, parsley, and dill.
Ingredients for a veggie dip in a bowl with a towel on the side.

How to Make Veggie Dip

  1. Chop herbs – finely mince if using fresh herbs.
  2. Whisk together – In a bowl whisk the mayo, sour cream, dried parsley, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, dried onion, lemon juice, and fresh dill until well combined.
  3. To serve – Place dip in a serving bowl and set on a platter surrounded with your favorite fresh veggies.

Pro Tip: Cover and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the perfect cold veggie dip.

Optional Add-Ins

This is a classic recipe and you can add some of your favorite flavorings to change things up. Here are some ideas:

  • Bacon bits

  • Spinach
  • Grated carrot

Common Questions

How long will this dip last?

This dip can stay fresh for up to 4-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Can I freeze this dip?

We don’t recommend freezing the dip as dairy doesn’t usually freeze well.

Can I make a healthier version of this dip?

You can make a lighter version of this dip by using light mayo and light sour cream.

What other ways can I serve this dip?

You can also enjoy this veggie dip with crackers, pretzels, tortilla chips, or even potato chips. You can also spread it on sandwiches or tortilla pinwheels.

How to substitute dry herbs for fresh herbs?

You’ll need a third amount of fresh herbs to dry herbs. So 1 tablespoon fresh herbs will be equal to 1 teaspoon dry herbs.

    This was easy and so delicious! This will be my go-to recipe now! Next I’ll try all the seasonings in some whipped cottage cheese, too feel less guilty 😉

    Used primal kitchen avocado mayo and dairy-free sour cream instead due to a lactose intolerance, but kept everything else the same! Delicious!!!

    A yummy add-in would be about 3/4 tsp. of curry powder. It was a very popular dip in the 70’s.

      Hi Wendy! At the top of the recipe card, it shows how many servings the recipe makes. The nutrition facts are determined per serving. Sorry, I do not have it measured out since it’s a computer generated chart, but this recipe serves 8 total so you can divide it into 8 equal servings. I hope that helps!

    Delicious! The fresh dill and lemon made it for me. Our family enjoyed it with cucumbers, carrots, and pita chips. We all loved it. I will definitely make it again and may add some jalapeño and/or bacon bits. LOVING your recipes, Natasha. Thank you.

    Hi Natasha, can I use yogurt instead of sour cream? I’m in Portugal and want to make this dip, but no sour cream here!
    Thanks!

      Hi Tina, I haven’t tried that, but it may work. Here’s what one of my readers wrote: “It is a great recipe however, I needed something healthier. I used Greek Yogurt and pretty much doubled the spices. Next time I will add that buttermilk and am very happy with the healthier version.” I hope it helps!

    I needed something quick for a baby shower I’m hosting. Decided to try only Greek yogurt, since a few had asked and I always have some on hand. Tastes great!! Love the combination of herbs (even without the fresh dill, which probably would have made it even better but I didn’t have!)
