Sour Cream and Onion Dip Ingredients

You’ll need a handful of ingredients for this recipe, all super simple and easily accessible. If you plan on making this dip often, I recommend buying some of the seasoning in bulk so that you’ve got it on hand when you need it! Find ingredient notes (including substitutions and swaps) below.

• Greek yogurt – the addition of Greek yogurt in this recipe gives it an extra punch of protein. We used full-fat Greek yogurt, but any plain Greek yogurt you like will work great.
• Dehydrated onion – different than onion powder, the dehydrated onion (oftentimes called minced onion) gives the dip it’s classic texture. You can find minced onion in the spice aisle of the grocery store, likely close to the onion and garlic powder.

A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Recipe Variations and Modifications

• Make it dairy-free – this recipe has a very dairy-heavy base, so making it dairy-free calls for a few major substitutions. If you can find dairy-free yogurt and sour cream (both exist, but may be tricky to find), those will work perfectly. If you can find ONE of those (either dairy-free yogurt or dairy-free sour cream) but not the other, you can use an equal amount of mayonnaise in place of the component you can’t find.
• Make it gluten-free – this recipe is 100% gluten-free as-is. Another perk of going homemade!

How to Serve

Serve your sour cream and onion dip alongside potato chips and/or fresh, crunchy veggies. Be prepared for the bowl to be, essentially, licked clean before the night is over!

How to Store

If you have leftovers (heavy on the if here), simply store the dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You may need to stir the dip to reincorporate it before digging in!
