How do you make veggie dip?

This recipe is a simple blend of sour cream, mayonnaise, dried and fresh herbs, spices and seasonings. Everything gets mixed together, then the dip is chilled until you’re ready to serve it. Serve your dip with an assortment of vegetables such as carrots, celery, tomatoes, broccoli, radishes, cucumber, cauliflower and sliced bell peppers.

Tips for Veggie Dip

  • Looking to save a few calories? You can use low fat sour cream and mayonnaise instead of the full fat varieties.
  • I use a blend of fresh and dried herbs here. You can use all fresh or all dried herbs if you prefer. One teaspoon of dried herbs is the equivalent of 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re looking to serve a larger crowd.
  • While I love this particular combination of herbs, you can use other herbs as well including basil, thyme or green onions.
  • I like to top this dip with a variety of fresh herbs for garnish, but that’s an optional step.

Vegetable Dip Variations

This is a basic vegetable dip that has a classic garlic and herb flavor. You can add other ingredients to the mix to customize this dip to your tastes.

  • Bacon: Add 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon.
  • Garlic Lover’s: Saute 2 teaspoons of garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir it into the dip.
  • Tuscan: Add 1/3 cup finely diced sun dried tomatoes.
  • Cheese: Add 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese.
  • Spinach: Add 1/2 cup cooked spinach that’s been drained of any excess water.
  • Spicy: Add sriracha or buffalo sauce to taste. You can also stir in some crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Olives: Add 1/4 cup finely chopped kalamata or green olives.

Can I make veggie dip in advance?

This dip is perfect to make in advance, you can make it 3-4 days before you plan to serve it. Store your dip in a covered container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat.

How long does vegetable dip stay fresh?

Vegetable dip will stay fresh in the fridge or up to 5 days. I don’t recommend freezing vegetable dip as it’s dairy based, and dairy can congeal and separate when frozen.
