    • Healthy Veggie Dip Recipe

    Why Make this Recipe

    1. Under 2 Minutes: Sometimes we just need the quickest recipe possible. By simply combining two ingredients and stirring, you have the tastiest veggie dip! 
    2. Uses Kitchen Staples: This recipe originated because we were having company and realized we had gotten a lot of vegetables to share but not any dip! We had some sour cream and a flavoring packet in the house, so we quickly mixed them together (literally while their backs were turned to us). Everyone raved about the dip, and we didn’t even need to go to the grocery store for special ingredients! 

    What Ingredients are in this Recipe? 

    Ingredient shot
    1. Sour Cream: You can use regular or low fat sour cream. For a healthier alternative, you can also use unflavored Greek yogurt. 
    2. Italian Seasoning Packet: These packets are typically used to make homemade Italian dressing as home. I used 1 (.7 oz) pack of dry Italian Salad Dressing and Recipe Packet, Good Seasons brand. 

    How to Make this Recipe

    Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl. Serve with vegetables, crackers, or anything else you’d like. Enjoy! 

    Expert Tips

    Sour cream and seasoning mixed together
    • For an even healthier version of this dip, you can replace the sour cream with unflavored Greek yogurt. 
    • There is no need to limit yourself to just a vegetable dip! This recipe would also be delicious on sandwiches, as a chip dip, or even mixed into eggs. 

    Recipe FAQs

    What Veggies are Good for Dip? 

    You can dip anything that you want in this Healthy Veggie Dip Recipe! Some options that we loved were: 

    • Broccoli 
    • Carrots
    • Snap Peas
    • Cherry Tomatoes
    • Celery 

    Other great choices could be: 

    • Crackers 
    • Chips 
    • Pita Bread 

    Can I Use Different Flavoring Packets?

    Definitely! I am partial to the Italian Flavoring Packet, but if you’d prefer to use a different seasoning packet, you certainly can do so. 

    Using a ranch packet will deliver similar results to ranch dressing. Lipton Onion mix is also a great option.

      Or you can skip the sour cream and yogurt and substitute cottage cheese.
