Key Ingredients
- Dip Base – Mayonaisse and sour cream. We prefer Duke’s mayonnaise for all of our recipes. Real mayo is best. I do not suggest using Miracle Whip.
- Fresh Herbs – Fresh dill, parsley, and chives. We use Italian flat-leaf parsley because it tends to have more flavor than curly parsley.
- Seasonings – Garlic powder, celery salt, kosher salt, and black pepper.

This easy vegetable dip recipe comes together in 5 minutes.
This makes a great light lunch or a healthy snack.
I like to make this and store it in the refrigerator with a large zip bag of chopped fresh vegetables, such as snap peas, carrot sticks, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and bell peppers.
My daughter will eat the veggies if they are already cut and waiting for her in a nice pretty little package. Forget it if she has to chop anything for herself.

Variations
- You could substitute light sour cream or Greek yogurt for the sour cream and use light mayo instead of full-fat mayonnaise for a lighter version.
- Add bacon bits and diced jalapenos, or substitute fresh garlic for the garlic powder. I would suggest grating one fresh garlic clove or using a garlic press.
