Thanks to the addition of mayonnaise and the generous seasonings, it’s wonderfully creamy, rich, and flavorful. And it’s ready in just 10 minutes! Whenever I have friends over, I love to start our evening with a few appetizers. In addition to spicy deviled eggs, cheese balls, and cheese crackers, I like to include fresh-cut veggies with a dip. I have several wonderful dips that I like to make, including cream cheese dip, blue cheese dressing, spinach artichoke dip, and pizza dip. This sour cream dip is one of my favorites, especially because it’s so easy to make.

Recipe Card
Sour cream: For the best flavor and texture, I recommend using full-fat sour cream in this recipe. Mayonnaise: Adds creaminess and flavor to the dip. You can omit it if you wish and add extra sour cream, but I do feel that the mayo is important here. To season: I like to use kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic granules, onion granules, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and fresh chives.
You start by placing the sour cream, mayonnaise, spices, and half of the chives in a bowl. That’s it! You can sprinkle more chives on the dip and serve it immediately, or let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This dip can also serve as a wonderful topping for hard-boiled eggs, poached salmon, and roasted vegetables. Finally, I like to serve it as a dipping sauce for boiled shrimp, buffalo chicken wings, and chicken meatballs.
