Ingredients
Here are a few ingredients to make the sour cream dip recipe
Sour Cream – Using full-fat sour cream makes the dip rich and creamy. However you can also use low-fat as well.
Mayonnaise - makes the dip creamy and enhances the taste.
Herbs - I have used dried chives and dill in this recipe. You may also use fresh dill and chives as fresh herbs taste best in the dips.
Garlic powder – added for flavoring. You can also add the freshly minced garlic cloves.
Onion powder – is added to get sweetness from the onion, so do not skip it.
Lemon Juice or Vinegar - Helps to keep the dip fresh for longer and it increases the taste too. It's optional.
Salt & Pepper – for seasoning
