How to Make Veggie Dip

To start, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need your choice of sour cream, and mayo, along with dried herbs like dill and parsley for flavor. Don’t forget the minced dried onion and seasoning salt.

In a large bowl, combine your base (sour cream and mayo), dried herbs, and seasoning salt. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. This will create a flavorful base for your veggie dip.

Step 2 – Serve with Varied Vegetables

Now, it’s time to bring in the vegetables. Carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, celery sticks, broccoli florets, cauliflower, radishes, and tomatoes are all excellent choices. Arrange them on a platter around your bowl of dip.

Your veggie dip is ready to serve! It’s a perfect appetizer for any gathering and pairs well with tortilla chips too. 

Expert Tips

To enhance the flavor of your veggie dip, let it sit in the fridge for at least two hours before serving. This allows the ingredients like dill, parsley, and onion flakes to fully infuse into the mayo and sour cream, creating a richer taste.

Recipe Variations

• Greek Yogurt: Swap out the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt in this dip recipe. It’s a great way to add a tangy flavor twist.
• Fresh Herbs: Although this recipe calls for dried dill and parsley, feel free to use fresh herbs for a more vibrant taste.
• Lemon Juice: For a fresh, zesty flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the dip.
• Seasonings: Add a dash of garlic powder to the mayo and sour cream mix for an extra kick of flavor.

What to Serve With

• For a refreshing appetizer, serve this dip with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. The crisp, fresh vegetables provide a perfect contrast to the creamy dip, enhancing its flavor.
• If you’re a fan of peppers, try serving this dip with bell peppers. The sweetness of the bell peppers complements the tangy taste of the dip, creating a delicious balance of flavors.
• For a crunchy snack, pair this dip with celery sticks. The mild flavor of the celery allows the rich taste of the dip to shine through.

Storing and Reheating

• Refrigerate: After enjoying this flavorful vegetable dip, store any leftovers in an airtight sealed container in the fridge. The dip will keep its fresh taste for up to 3-4 days.
