In a medium bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, dried herbs like dill and chives, onion powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for flavors to blend or you may also eat it right away.
Serve this sour cream dip with chips or veggies such as cucumber, celery, bell pepper, or cherry tomatoes.

Use full-fat sour cream: Low-fat sour cream can be thinner in texture, you can still use it, but the results may not be excellent. Try to use full-fat sour cream to make the dip rich, creamy, and flavorful.
Add water or milk for a runnier dip if you prefer: Add a tablespoon of water or milk if you prefer a runnier dip. I like the thickness of the dip without adding any water though.
Adjust the seasonings: Taste the dip mixture and adjust the seasoning as per your preference as you mix.

Fresh Herbs: You can also use finely chopped fresh dill and chives. You may also use parsley.
Swap some of your sour cream for Greek yogurt: To add probiotics, protein, and tanginess and cut on calories.
Spicy: For a spicy sour cream sauce, add a little cayenne powder, or a teaspoon of sriracha sauce to the sour cream mixture. You can also add some minced chili pepper or jalapeno for the heat.
Sour cream and onion dip: Add some caramelized onion to the dip mixture for a variation.
