Looking for the ultimate veggie dip recipe? This Really Good Veggie Dip is packed with flavor and incredibly easy to make. With a delicious blend of thoughtful ingredients, it’s perfect for any veggie platter.

My favorite (and in my opinion the very best) veggie dip!

Colorful and crunchy vegetable platters are a popular party appetizer today. Although veggies are tasty on their own, serving them with dip takes them to another level. Today, I’m excited to share this easy Veggie Dip.

If you ever wondered, “What can you dip vegetables in?” This veggie dip is a winner!

This recipe comes from a deli in my hometown. I’ve been coveting their homemade vegetable dip for years and would purchase a container of it anytime I needed a good vegetable dip. It tastes so good!

I tried various recipes at home, but nothing could beat it. It is so good that whenever my sister-in-law visited St. Marys, she would buy multiple containers for herself and her friends. Kids love it too!

For years I assumed the recipe was a closely guarded secret. However, one day as I was chatting with the cashier, the topic of the recipe came up and, without hesitation, she gave it to me! I was shocked.

What I assumed to be top secret was now in my hands. No longer did I have to purchase this magical veggie dip: finally, I could make it at home.

Side note: I learned a big lesson that day. Always be kind to EVERYONE. You never know how or when your kindness will be returned. (That person just might gift you with the recipe for your favorite veggie dip!)

While I’ve had the recipe for a few months now, I’m finally getting around to sharing it with all of you. As many of you know, I have a bunch of recipes with “Really Good” in their titles. In my opinion, these recipes ARE the best of the best even though I don’t call them that. This veggie dip is in that category.

Ingredients

Not only is it “Really Good,” but it’s crazy easy to make, and you probably have most, if not all, of the ingredients in your pantry and fridge. I’ve provided a full ingredient list with step-by-step instructions, video, and nutrition facts (including calories) in a printable recipe card below.

What is veggie dip made of? 

  • Sour Cream – The base of this dip, sour cream adds a rich and creamy texture that’s hard to beat.
  • Mayonnaise – Mayonnaise enhances the creaminess and adds a subtle tang that balances the flavors beautifully.
  • Dried Parsley Flakes – These flakes add a touch of color and a hint of herbal freshness to the dip.
  • Dried Minced Onions – They provide a mild onion flavor without overpowering the dip, adding depth and a bit of texture.
  • Lawry’s Seasoned Salt – This is the secret ingredient that ties everything together with its unique blend of spices.
  • Dried Dill – A small amount of dried dill adds a delightful hint of anise-like flavor, making the dip more complex and interesting.
  • Worcestershire Sauce – Just a splash of Worcestershire sauce adds a savory, umami note that enhances all the other flavors.
  • Frank’s Red Hot Sauce -A few drops of this hot sauce add a subtle kick, giving the dip a little extra excitement.

  1. I had tried a number of vegetable dip recipes but none of them were that great. Tried this one and now it’s all I’ve made for the past year! Thank you! My kids love it.

  2. I just made this, using just a 1/4 of the measurements, and the flavor is amazing! This is even before it has had time to set! Can’t wait for our “happy hour” time, tonight. Thanks, Michael for another great recipe.

    1. Yes, there is a printable recipe card at the bottom of the post (and all of my recipe posts). Hope that helps!

  3. You know, St. Mary’s has a really nice distillery called Chicken Hill. The Sugar Maple Moonshine is just like drinking maple syrup with a little bite. Also the Cinnamon Moonshine is like eating Red Hots. They are both very good. The whole experience was a great time.

  4. I’ve made this three times now; I’ve finally found my go-to veggie dip since giving up seasoning packets and trying various recipes. Thank you!

  5. Made this with low expectations, as dip recipes tend to disappoint. I didn’t have seasoned salt so I used a half teaspoon of plain sea salt and it was perfect. Delicious! Thank you thank you thank you.

  6. Made this dip for Easter. it was amazing. this will def. be my go to veggie dip from now on. I am even thinking of using it as a base for a broccoli salad. It REALLY is really good veggie dip..

  7. Your dip looks wonderful! I love the colorful array of veggies with it. How do you cut your carrot sticks to curve? Thanks. I’m going to take this to my MIL’s Christmas party this year.

    1. They curl when they start to dry out 🙂 You can cut them a 2-3 days in advance, leave them in a covered container in the fridge, and then quickly rinse them before setting out on the tray so they look “fresh” again and lose that slightly white flaky look. I’ve never done this intentionally, but I usually cut 4-5 days worth of carrots at a time so that’s usually what happens!
