Creamy Herb Dip

March 20, 2024

A good dip has the power to bring people together, and this creamy herb dip is no exception. Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or just snacking solo, this easy-to-make dip is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

At the heart of this dip is a rich and tangy base made from sour cream and mayonnaise. It’s the perfect canvas for layering in bright, fresh flavors. Add a mix of finely chopped herbs like parsley, chives, and dill, and you’ll get a burst of freshness in every bite. Garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice round out the flavor profile, giving it just the right amount of zing.

What makes this dip so special is its versatility. Serve it with an array of crisp raw veggies like carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes for a healthy snack. It’s also a fantastic match for potato chips, pretzels, or pita bread. Want to upgrade your sandwiches or wraps? Spread a spoonful of this dip inside for an herby, creamy boost.

You can easily make this dip your own. Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version, or stir in a little hot sauce or Dijon mustard for a spicy twist. If you like a chunkier texture, fold in diced cucumbers or shredded carrots. The dip can also serve as a great topping for grilled meats, baked potatoes, or grain bowls.

The best part? It takes just 10 minutes to whip up, and it tastes even better after a short rest in the fridge. This gives the flavors a chance to meld and deepen, so it’s a great make-ahead option.

This creamy herb dip is a go-to recipe you’ll keep in your back pocket for every season. Fresh, flavorful, and endlessly adaptable, it’s the kind of simple pleasure that turns any moment into a delicious one.

      Hey, don’t worry! Dill is nice, but the other herbs are great too. Glad it turned out good!

    2. 2 stars
      Umm, how could you forget the dill? It’s kind of important for the flavor. Just sayin’.

      I think the mayo kind of makes it unhealthy tho? Too much fat, I guess.

    I thought it would be more tangy with Greek yogurt but it was just.. okay. The flavors didn’t really pop for me.

    1. User avatar mack.roberts1979 says:

      Have you tried letting it chill longer? Sometimes the flavors need more time to really mix! I loved it!

    I was skeptical about using yogurt instead of sour cream, but it turned out great! Just as good, if not better!

  17. 3 stars
    Didn’t have chives, so I used scallions and it turned out good but not great. Still edible.

    1. 4 stars
      Scallions are a great substitute! It happens to the best of us. Glad it still turned out edible!

  18. 4 stars
    The recipe sounds easy, but I don’t have fresh herbs. Can I use dried?

  19. User avatar lewis.ziemann says:

    3 stars
    I don’t think dip needs mayonnaise. Why not just use more yogurt?

  20. User avatar Zaphod Beeblebrox says:

    My grandma made a dip like this and I wanted to try, but it just tastes plain to me 🙁

    1. 4 stars
      Maybe try adding some lemon juice or a bit more seasoning? That could help with the flavor!

  21. User avatar pilar.emard90 says:

    I don’t like garlic, so used onion powder instead. Still turned out great!

  22. 5 stars
    Absolutely loved this dip! It was a hit at my party. So creamy and flavorful! Will definitely make it again.

    This is basically just a fancy name for ranch dressing. Why?

  24. User avatar jed.smith says:

    Yuck! I thought this was gonna be good but it tasted weird. Not trying again.

  25. 5 stars
    So easy to make! I used cream cheese instead of mayo, was really tasty!

  26. User avatar sandy.mcdermott says:

    I added some cayenne pepper for a kick. Whooo! Spicy!

    1. 4 stars
      Cayenne pepper? That’s bold! I usually stick to just garlic. But I bet it adds a good zing!

    2. User avatar jeanene.ledner80 says:

      2 stars
      Why would you ruin a nice dip with cayenne? Seems too spicy for my taste. 🤷‍♂️

  27. User avatar dane.dare1950 says:

    Really easy recipe! Made it for my kids and they loved it with the veggie sticks.

    1. User avatar jenice.davis78 says:

      5 stars
      I’m so glad your kids loved it! We tried it with potato chips and it was a hit too.

    2. 2 stars
      But isn’t Greek yogurt kinda sour? My kids wouldn’t eat that. 🤔

  28. User avatar steve_maga says:

    Absolutely delicious! Perfect for our game night! Will make it again!

    1. User avatar Joe Parisian III says:

      Game night? Isnt that a bit fancy for just dip? 🤔

    2. 5 stars
      Glad you liked it! It’s a hit at my parties too!

    I made this for a party, but no one really liked it. It was kind of bland.

  30. 3 stars
    hmmm tastes alright I guess, but I don’t know about this herb stuff.

    1. User avatar thomas.jerde says:

      3 stars
      Herbs are good! But sorely overused in many dips. Maybe they should stick to simpler flavors

    2. 4 stars
      I totally get you! The herbs can be a bit much if you’re not used to them. Maybe try it with less herb next time?

  31. 4 stars
    So creamy! Perfect for chips, but I’d say too much garlic for my taste.

  32. User avatar cristen.koepp48 says:

    4 stars
    Very easy to make, but I think it needs more garlic. Next time I’ll double it for sure!

    1. User avatar Shadout Mapes says:

      5 stars
      I think garlic is awesome too! Can’t have enough of it in a dip, right? Enjoy your next batch! 😊

  33. User avatar oPandariaNo says:

    Really? This is just plain yogurt with herbs. Not impressed. I prefer a store-bought dip.

  34. User avatar ermelinda.bauch42 says:

    5 stars
    This is awesome! I used sour cream instead of yogurt and it was still amazing. Can’t wait to try it again!

    1. User avatar izetta.brakus says:

      3 stars
      But isn’t yogurt key for creaminess? I don’t know how you made it taste amazing with sour cream.

    2. 5 stars
      Sour cream is a great substitute! Glad it turned out well for you. Can’t wait to try it too!

  35. User avatar riley.considine says:

    Meh, not impressed. My friend said it tasted like a mix between dish soap and blandness. Sorry!

    Really easy recipe! I added some lemon juice for extra zesty, everyone liked it! Thanks for sharing!

    1. User avatar dewayne.hermiston41 says:

      Sounds delicious! I love the idea of adding lemon juice. Can’t wait to try it out myself!

      Really? I don’t think lemon juice goes well in a dip like this… but whatever floats your boat.

    Ugh, I don’t like Greek yogurt. Is there an alternative? I should’ve read the ingredients better.

      Wow, that sounds amazing! I need to try making this for my next gathering. How many servings does it make?

  39. User avatar chuck.shields90 says:

    Why cover it? Isn’t that like trapping the flavors inside? Cuz dat seems wrong!

  40. User avatar deedra.muller42 says:

    Yogurt instead of sour cream? I wasn’t feeling it at first, but it actually turned out nice!

  41. User avatar elliot.harber says:

    I don’t know, it seems too simple. Where’s the fun in that?

  42. User avatar camila.koch1953 says:

    2 stars
    Too many herbs for my taste. Can I make it without them? Just curious if it would still be good.

    1. User avatar ruben.gorczany25 says:

      4 stars
      You could definitely make it without the herbs! It might lose that fresh taste, but it should still be creamy and good. Maybe add a little lemon juice instead?

  43. 5 stars
    Yumm! Made this for the game day, devoured it so fast! Recommend with pita chips!

  44. User avatar ervin.veum1966 says:

    Yummy! But I added some jalapeños for a kick. 🔥 Worth a try!

    1. 5 stars
      Jalapeños sound like a great addition! I’ll definitely try that next time. Thanks for the tip!

    Delish! I’m not a fan of mayo but it blended nicely here. So good!

  47. 3 stars
    What’s the point of using mayo? It’s not healthy at all. I’d skip that next time.
