It’s perfect for your veggie tray at any party, served with carrots, broccoli, or any vegetables you love.
What’s in this Veggie Dip Recipe?
Tangy, herbaceous, and full of flavor, this veggie dip is a versatile addition to any snack spread! Any time I host a party, you can bet I’m making this easy dip to serve with a vegetable tray.
- Sour Cream: Provides a creamy and tangy base for the dip, adding richness and a smooth texture.
- Mayonnaise : Adds creaminess and depth of flavor to the dip, complementing the sour cream.
- Ranch Seasoning : This mix of herbs and spices (often including garlic, onion, dill, parsley, and other seasonings), imparts a classic ranch flavor to this vegetable dip.
- Fresh Herbs: A combination of parsley and dill enhances the flavor and freshness of the dip, providing a light and herbaceous flavor.
- Seasoned Salt: Enhances the overall flavor profile of the dish.
- Black Pepper: Adds a mild spiciness to the dip.
Pro Tip: If you’re cutting calories, you can swap out the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt.
Variations on Vegetable Dip
This homemade veggie dip is easy to customize to suit your preferences. Try a few of these modifications for your next batch!
- Add freshly squeezed lemon juice for a pop of freshness.
- Stir in a mashed ripe avocado to make this dip ultra-creamy.
- Swap the ranch for French onion soup mix for a more savory take. You could also stir in some caramelized onions to really make the flavor pop.
- Add chopped fresh cilantro and lime juice for a Tex-Mex take.
- Stir in some Buffalo sauce for game day. This dip is great with grilled chicken wings !
- Drizzle in some balsamic glaze for a Mediterranean take. It’s great with blistered sweet peppers !
This flavorful dip is made from a mix of sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh herbs , and seasonings. It’s so tangy and tasty!
You can put just about anything on a veggie tray. Some of my favorites are cherry tomatoes, celery, baby carrots, bell peppers, radishes, cucumbers, and broccoli.
For a healthier swap, try using Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream.
While it is technically safe to freeze this dip, I don’t recommend it, since the texture changes significantly once thawed.
How to Store
Store leftover veggie dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I do not recommend freezing this dip.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
