Simple Ingredients for Homemade Chip Dip
- Sour Cream: Use full-fat sour cream for a rich and creamy texture. Fat-free sour cream can be used for a lighter texture, or use half sour cream and half Greek yogurt for a tangier version.
- Mayonnaise: Choose a good-quality mayo since it is the rich, smooth base for the dip. For a lighter version, substitute it with light mayonnaise or use additional sour cream.
- Seasoning: Dried dill, parsley, and garlic powder give this dip a light, garden-like flavor. Mix in fresh herbs from the garden, or spice it up by mixing in some taco or ranch seasoning and a dash of hot sauce.
- Variations: Mix in leftover cooked ground beef, bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, chopped black olives, green chiles, or jalapenos.
How to Make Chip Dip
- Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl (full recipe below).
- Cover, and chill before serving.
Tips for the Perfect Dip
- For a smooth consistency, use a whisk to combine the sour cream and mayonnaise before stirring in the remaining ingredients.
- Let the dip chill for at least 30 minutes, or overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop. This gives the dried herbs time to rehydrate and infuse the dip with flavor.
- Before serving, give the dip a good stir. If it is still too thick, stir in a splash of milk or cream to loosen it enough to make the perfect scoopable dip!
How to Store Chip Dip
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Keep it chilled until serving, and do not leave it out for more than 2 hours.
Stir leftovers before serving again. If the dip thickens in the refrigerator, loosen it with a small spoonful of sour cream or mayonnaise.
