Best Ever Chip Dip By Kelly Miller • July10,2018 • Updated July 16, 2020 • 75 Comments 208.5K 54 Jump to Recipe Jump to VideoThis simple chip dip takes 5 minutes to pull together, and is SO much better than those little packets – cheaper, too! Sour cream, mayo, and herbs… bring on the chips and veggies! This Best Ever Chip Dip is PERFECT to go along with a movie night for the family. No need to buy those expensive dip mix packets – I’ll bet you have most, if not all, of these ingredients already in your pantry! And it tastes LOADS better than any tub dip you’d buy at the supermarket! How long can chip dip be left out? Chip dip can be left out for a maximum of two hours. Be sure to keep this sour cream – based dip refrigerated until ready to serve and tightly cover and refrigerate all leftovers. This also keeps the dip at optimal flavor, too! How long is this dip good for? This dip is good for about one week in the fridge. Probably longer, but I wouldn’t know because it’s literally gone in seconds in this household! Can chip dip be frozen? I do not recommend freezing this dip. Sour cream and mayonnaise do not stand up to freezing well. Good thing this dip takes mere seconds to whip up, am I right?! Step by step directions: Mix sour cream and mayo together in a medium-ish mixing bowl. Stir in the seasonings: dried minced onion, dill, parsley, and garlic salt. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least two hours before serving. It really is that simple! Dipper ideas: Kettle potato chips or ridged potato chips (both are better than regular chips for holding dip) Cut up veggies like baby carrots, broccoli florets, and sliced cucumber Mini pretzels If you liked this recipe for my Best Ever Chip Dip, please leave a rating and a comment below this post!

Aida Arain says May 16, 2015 at 3:56 pm I also love Cape Cod Potato Chips. I figure if I'm going to eat the calories, it might as well be worth it! This dip sounds so good, and I agree – homemade dip is so much more delicious than the jarred kind 🙂 Reply
Alana says May 16, 2018 at 4:50 am This dip is soooooo good. Way better than something you’d find at the store! Reply
Lois Bendix says July 18, 2018 at 3:46 pm I’ve made this several times. It is always a hit, and so simple. Reply
Stephanie, One Caring Mom says July 27, 2018 at 11:17 pm I am a sucker for chip dips and everything is always better home made. Thank you for sharing the deliciousness!!! Reply
Kristin says August 10, 2018 at 1:59 am Had family over for a BBQ & wished last minute I had a dip for the chips. Found this recipe on Pinterest & will be making it again many MANY more times! The dip was gone in no time; will double the batch next time! Thanks for sharing the love! ❤️ Reply
Patricia says August 12, 2018 at 5:53 pm Absolutely delish! I did substitute 1/4 t. garlic powder and 1/4 t. salt rather than 1 t. garlic salt (watching sodium intake). Reply
Kat says August 22, 2018 at 9:24 pm I have a similar recipe that I learned over 30 years ago in college. It is ALWAYS a big hit and so many have asked for the recipe. The only tiny difference is that seasoned salt (for example Lawry’s) is used in place of salt. It is easy, addictive and scrumptious. Reply
Kelly Miller says August 23, 2018 at 12:04 am Wow I LOVE the idea of seasoned salt in this, Kat! Totally trying that next time! Reply
Brenda says November 6, 2018 at 5:14 am I like this 1 better. 2 boxes of philly cream cheese about a teaspoon of chopped onion and 2 jars of pimento spread. Not the kind u find in the dairy. Its on a shelf at the store. And 1 teaspoon of sourcream Reply
Brianna DeWalt says May 27, 2019 at 2:14 pm Thank you Kelly!!! EVERYONE LOVED THIS DIP!!! I will be making this again and again! Reply
Eugenie says November 14, 2018 at 2:17 am I am going to try this using cream cheese instead of the mayo since my oldest son is allergic to mayo. Reply
Monica says December 8, 2018 at 3:49 pm This was a huge hit! I doubled the recipe for a games night with friends, and everyone loved it! I’ll be putting this one away for another time! Reply
Elaine says December 24, 2018 at 4:17 pm I make this all the time. So much better than using an onion soup packet. Much fresher taste, not as salty and is more visually appealing. Highly recommend! Reply
Cooper says December 28, 2018 at 5:28 am This was fantastic and so super easy. Tried the Lawry’s seasoning salt in place of the garlic salt like another reader suggested. So much better than that junk in the grocery store. Would be great with veggies too. Reply
Kim Holowell says December 30, 2018 at 11:59 am This is a dangerous recipe ??? It is phenomenal!!! 3 letters YUM Reply
Javaid says January 6, 2019 at 11:51 am I used diced chives and thinly sliced fresh sweet basil along with garlic salt.. that turned to be delicious as well. Reply
auntieem says May 24, 2019 at 5:50 pm This is sooooo good! I added some grated cheese to it as well. nommm..nommm…noommmm!!! lol Reply
Carol says June 27, 2019 at 8:26 pm Perfect beginning for a basic dip. Also added chopped dill pickles and chopped red pickled onions. Reply
Kelly Miller says August 6, 2019 at 1:20 pm I’m not sure how it would change the flavor, but you could try it with some onion powder! Reply
Pearl Pyle says February 16, 2020 at 3:25 am Oh my goodness! So good! You won’t believe how fast this dip goes at our house when I’ve set it out with some chips! I’ve had to re-make it many times…;) This recipe is definitely a favorite. Reply
Pearl Pyle says February 16, 2020 at 3:28 am Also, meant to ask: will the dip taste any different if you use avocado oil mayonnaise? I usually use the regular Sir Kensington’s mayonnaise, but I am going to try their avocado oil one. Reply
Ida Hockenberry says March 28, 2020 at 7:42 pm I loved finding this recipe I already had all the ingredients yippee! I also used 1/2 tsp garlic pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic salt. I also added salt free chef shake spice. I had fresh dill and fresh parsley, and I used them up for this dip. I was so glad to find this awesome recipe. It is now in the fridge, and I know it will be so popular today. Reply
Candace says May 7, 2020 at 3:34 am Can you substitute onion powder if you don’t have minced onion? Reply
Kelly Miller says May 7, 2020 at 12:01 pm You probably could, I’ve never done it though so I’m not sure how much to use. Reply
george says May 10, 2020 at 3:58 am Can you substitute parsley with something else? There wasn’t a single pack of Parsley in the whole store yesterday… Reply
Kelly Miller says May 11, 2020 at 9:30 pm I would just skip the parsley, George. Hope you enjoy! Reply
Janelle Poulter says May 17, 2020 at 7:43 pm I had a get together sprung on me and I had 2 hours to get something together. I have all of these ingredients easily in my house on a daily basis. I made it in less than 5 minutes and had it chilling waiting for guest to arrive. It was a hit. tasted great and they thought it was gourmet. Reply
Kirsten Hamm-Epp says June 8, 2020 at 12:33 am As soon as I made this I said to my husband, “I’ve done a terrible and wonderful thing.” We LOVE this dip!! Made it twice in a week since discovering it 🙂 Great with chips or crackers or pretty much anything! So delicious, we’re in love. Thanks! Reply
Angela says July 2, 2020 at 10:04 pm I made this dip for a cookout and everyone LOVED it. The entire thing went! Making it again for this weekend. It is now my go-to easy app to take to parties. Reply
Darlene Steele says August 12, 2020 at 2:45 pm great dip! using fresh herbs are even better. fresh parsley,minced onion, and dill. Reply
Patricia A. Hall-Whigham says August 18, 2020 at 6:56 pm Thank you, thank you for sharing this pure deliciousness! I use low sodium ridged potato chips to enjoy this perfect dip! Reply
Rita says August 21, 2020 at 1:48 am Love this dip! I appreciate also that I can alter it to use half nonfat Greek yogurt and half sour cream instead of the1Cup of sour cream to cut the calories a bit and it still turns out wonderful!!! Reply
DANIEL STANLES says November 25, 2020 at 5:38 pm Nice flavor, but next time I will use garlic powder instead of garlic salt.😊 Reply
Allison says January 12, 2021 at 2:01 am Better than store-bought in every way! Cheaper and yummier! Super easy too. Everyone loves it. Reply
Leslie VandeLaar says January 14, 2021 at 9:19 pm This is a fantastic recipe that uses simple and inexpensive ingredients. I added an extra tablespoon of dried onion flakes and a few shakes of black ground pepper. This dip is far superior to the packets of dip mix – delicious with fresh vegetables as dippers. Reply
emmy says March 4, 2021 at 10:52 pm Very little flavor and so salty that I couldn’t even eat it. Reply
Neil Koch says May 9, 2021 at 3:10 pm Absolutely delicious! Had it with Simba salt and vinegar chips, very yummy! Thanks! Reply

Andy says July 13, 2021 at 7:53 pm Simple, yet very delicious! I didn’t specifically have garlic salt, but garlic powder worked just fine for me! So good!! Reply
Rosetta R Morris says September 29, 2021 at 5:21 pm Anxious to make. Always looking for recipes without msg’s. Reply
Sara says October 22, 2021 at 2:21 am Great base! Used all garden herbs, including cayenne pepper. Too much salt so sprinkled a little sugar to fix. Would try garlic powder and seasoning salt. Reply
Craig N deFreese says January 2, 2022 at 12:44 am Looking for a home recipe for Heluva Good French onion dip, tried some complicated ones. This is the best! Added a little more dried onions, it’s perfect! Thank you! Reply
Jessica says January 28, 2022 at 6:26 pm Hi Kelly! I want to make this for my little one’s bday party tomorrow. Can this be made a day prior? It sounds amazing! Reply
Kelly Miller says January 28, 2022 at 6:47 pm Yes, it will probably taste even better tomorrow! Happy birthday to your little one! Reply
Robby says January 29, 2022 at 4:18 pm Perfect chip and veggie dip. I added some fresh cracked pepper. You’re so right, it’s so much better than premade store bought dip. Reply
Katherine says April 1, 2022 at 10:00 pm Fun and quick to make. And really good. I would definitely eat it all the time. Lol Reply

Robin says July 16, 2022 at 2:45 am This is better than any store bought I’ve tasted! Did this on a whim late one night, and I was extremely surprised and thrilled! Thank you! Reply
Kellise F. says August 7, 2022 at 7:18 pm This was THE BEST chip chip dip I have EVEN had but, do NOT make it with avocado mayo, I brang avacado mayo chip dip to a party, nobody touched it. Reply
Mary Ullmer says October 30, 2022 at 10:26 pm I have made this at least five times and figured it’s about time I leave a comment. I don’t buy store-bought chip dip anymore because this one is so much better. It’s my go-to. Thanks for sharing it. Reply
Nancy says December 26, 2022 at 4:05 pm I made this Christmas day, yesterday, to be had with BBQ chips. All who indulged thought it to be great! Reply
Nancy says December 26, 2022 at 4:09 pm Also, I did not have minced dried onion, so I chopped half a small onion really, really small and mixed it in. Reply
Kate says February 6, 2023 at 6:30 pm Um, idk why this has less than 5 stars, it is literally amazing, it just needs a tbsp. of lemon juice and some extra dill and parsley (maybe 2 tsp. more of each). Thanks for this amazing recipe!!! Reply
Tarah says June 8, 2023 at 5:13 pm Even my husband ( who is the pickiest person in earth) loved this dip! I made it exactly as the recipe was written! Reply
Jennifer says July 22, 2023 at 2:03 pm My family has used this recipe for vegetable dip for over 40 years lol. In the last 20 years though, I tweaked it. I took out the parsley and replaced it with the dillweed. So so good! I’ve used it as a spread for grilled chicken, burgers, crackers. I take it to BBQs and there is never any left. Reply
