Common Questions
This dip can stay fresh for up to 4-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
We don’t recommend freezing the dip as dairy doesn’t usually freeze well.
You can make a lighter version of this dip by using light mayo and light sour cream.
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.
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.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Very good and easy! Reminded me of my fave T Marzetti veggie dip! I used all dried herbs.
Would I be able to 1/2 plain yogurt to mayonaise or even substitute plain yougurt instead of mayonaise?
Hi Ann. I have not tested that to advise, but I think it could work. If you experiment, let us know how it goes.
Made this for our 4th of July party to go with the cut up veggies – it was excellent!
Good to know that it was a success!
Veggie Dip + Pork Schnitzel (little bit) = Outstarted!!
(I have a stroke but I’m here…God = Sunshine!)
So glad to see this message from you, Debi! Stay safe and healthy and I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try.
Thnx Natasha for this quick, easy, yummy dip. What drew me to it – homemade & 2/3 less sodium than the typical box Onion dip most of us usually make!
Lv your talented joyful videos! Seems your personality was made for this FB format!
You’re so nice! Thank you, Donnamarie! I’m so glad you loved this recipe!
Have a super busy day tomorrow so figured I’d search an easy dip to make ahead of time. Had a taste before putting it in the fridge and it was amazing right after being made! I can’t imagine how yummy it will be tomorrow!
I’m so glad you loved it, Diana! It’ll be so good tomorrow! I just know you’re going to love it even more!
Made this today with a side of veggies. It was delicious.. definitely adding this one to my recipe book…
Thank you!
Thank you, Yolanda! So happy you enjoyed this recipe!
I am serving tomorrow. Can I make it tonight and keep in the fridge?
Hi Jessica, please see this section in the recipe: “How long will this dip last?”.
Hi,
Can I use plain greek yoghurt instead of sour cream. I seem to always have yoghurt in the house but not sour cream.
Hi Mary, I haven’t tried using yogurt but you can use light mayo too instead of sour cream.
Love this dip. Even my veggie hating daughter is willing to eat carrots with this dip.
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
Fast to make and so good with the lemon juice dded. Thank you!
Thanks for the good review, Terry!
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 doesn’t read correctly.
You will need three times the amount of fresh herbs to dry herbs?
Hi David, that is correct. Since dried herbs are often more potent and concentrated than fresh herbs, you need less. That means the correct ratio is about one to 1.5 tablespoons of fresh herbs to 1 – 1.5 teaspoons of dried herbs
Hi Natasha, just wanted to let you know that at the start of your post it mentions cream cheese but I don’t see cream cheese listed on the ingredient list.
Hi Claire, I meant to say sour cream and not cream cheese since there is no cream cheese in this recipe. Thank you for pointing that out. I fixed it!
I didn’t have lemon juice so subbed with lime juice. Also I went a little heavier on the spices than the recipe called on (my usual technique with recipes!) and was very pleased with the result. Many compliments at the party where this was served! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Great to hear that the recipe was a huge hit, Ann! Thanks a lot for sharing that with us.
This dip is amazing thank you for sharing
You’re welcome! Glad you liked it.
Just curious…would this still be good without dill? I’m not a huge fan.
Hi Karen, it will still be delicious without it but it also adds much flavor to the dip. You can probably just add a little more parsley.
Love your recipes. Just wanted to know who the person is at the bottom of this recipe. ( Ranch Dip ) Valentina Ablaev. I looked her up, but figured it should of been you there???. Keep up the great work..
