Veggie Dip

Believe it or not, my kids are obsessed with veggie platters. Every time we go to the store, they beg for one and eat it up fast—as long as there’s plenty of dip. The second the dip’s gone, so is their interest in the veggies!

So, I decided to make my own veggie dip and grab veggies in bulk—way cheaper than the trays. And if this dip gets them to eat more veggies, I’m all in! They’re absolutely hooked on it, and honestly, it’s better than any store-bought dip we’ve tried!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make the best veggie dip ever:

Sour Cream: Makes it creamy with a bit of tang.
Mayo: Adds extra creaminess and flavor. Use a good brand!
Ranch Seasoning Mix: Delivers big flavor with herbs and spices. It is worth Hidden Valley Ranch for the best flavor!
Grated Red Onion: Adds a mild onion flavor. Leave it out if you aren’t a fan!
Minced Garlic: Fresh garlic gives a stronger flavor, or use garlic powder if that’s what you have.
Dill: I usually don’t have fresh dill, so freeze-dried is my go-to. It’s super straightforward—no chopping needed, and the flavor is just as good!
Salt and Pepper: Brings out the other flavors.

All the veggie dip ingredients are added to a bowl and whisked together.

Fun Seasonal Veggie Tray Ideas

Santa Veggie Train: Hollow out bell peppers as train cars, attach cucumber “wheels” with toothpicks, and fill each car with colorful veggies like carrots, cherry tomatoes, and celery. Arrange the trains on a platter and serve with the veggie dip.
Christmas Tree Platter: Shape broccoli into a Christmas tree, use cherry tomatoes as “ornaments,” and add cauliflower at the base for “snow.” Arrange pretzels as the trunk and add cheese shapes for decoration.
Ornament Platter: Create a circular design on a round plate with layers of mini carrots, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices to resemble an ornament. Use small cheese shapes for extra decoration.
Turkey Veggie Platter: Arrange veggie slices like cucumbers, snap peas, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes in a fan shape to resemble turkey feathers. Place a small bowl of veggie dip as the “body,” add a halved bell pepper for the face, bell pepper pieces for the beak and wattle, edible eyes, and carrot slices for feet.
