- Ranch dressing
- Chives

Substitutions and Additions
- Swap The Sour Cream: You can use plain greek yogurt as a substitute.
- Replace The Ranch: You replace the ranch with additional sour cream, however your dip will not have as much flavor. I would add extra chives and/or garlic.
- Switch The Spread: You can use regular cream cheese spread instead of the chive and onion flavor, however I recommend also substituting ¼ cup sour cream for extra ranch to enhance the flavor. You can also try Garden Vegetable or Spicy Jalapeño flavors for a fun swap.
- Vegan Version: To make a vegan veggie dip, swap the cream cheese spread, sour cream, and Ranch dressing for your favorite dairy-free versions.

Tips For Making The Best Veggie Dip
- You can use low-fat or full-fat sour cream in this recipe. However, I would not recommend using fat-free, as it will change the overall consistency of your dip.
- I prefer using fresh chives for this recipe, however, you can use dried chives in a pinch. You want to use about 2 teaspoons of dried chives.
Serving Suggestions
A veggie dip complements carrots, tomatoes, celery, bell pepper, and broccoli. You can also serve it with crackers like Ritz, Wheat Thins, water crackers or other party crackers. If you want to make it a little fancier, you can toast baguette slices and serve them with a scoop of the dip on top sprinkled with chive. You can also serve it alongside chips, especially plain potato or tortilla chips.
