Sour Cream and Chive Dip is a light and creamy chip and vegetable dip. Just 5 ingredients needed for this easy recipe.
I’ve been eating my weight in raw vegetables lately thanks to homemade Sour Cream and Chive Dip.
This 5 ingredient sour cream dip recipe comes together in 5 minutes seconds and is deliciously cool, creamy, and full of chive flavor. It is SO addicting!
Something I always get a kick out of is ex-Iowans commenting on a post where I show either a Hy-Vee or AE Dairy product telling me how much they miss them. Us former and current Iowans understand there’s no better grocery store then Hy-Vee, which carries the legendary dip line by AE Dairy.
The only problem is the dips aren’t gluten-free.
Enter my copycat recipes! Like I said, this dip calls for just 5 ingredients, and is perfectly satisfying.
Recipe Notes
- Use a sour cream that you like all on its own. That might seem like a given but I tested this dip recipe using a sour cream brand I’m not familiar with and didn’t love the outcome. Surprise, surprise — AE sour cream is the best!
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 12 hours before eating as the flavors really do need time to meld.
- Don’t limit your dipping to just vegetables and chips – add a dollop on top of tacos, a bowl of chili, or even a plate of smoked salmon and capers!
Like I said, just one direction needed to make this recipe: stir stuff together in a bowl then refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Said stuff includes sour cream (again, be sure to use a sour cream that you like all on its own,) chopped fresh chives, the green onions, onion powder, and salt.
Stir then refrigerate overnight, or longer, then serve with any and all vegetables or chips.
I hope you love this EASY, creamy, totally delectable dip — enjoy!

I made this for a family function, thinking it’s not my thing, but other people might like it. Wow – it’s now my thing!! So fresh tasting, so much better than store-bought.
Looking g for tasty food
I love that this doesn’t have any junk in it!!!
Absolutely! I hope you love it, Melissa!
I just fixed this dip, worrying that I couldn’t let it chill 12 hours. If it tastes this good right after mixing, I can’t imagine what it will be like if 4, not to mention 12 hours. A+ recipe!
I just moved away from Iowa, and I am so, so homesick! Thanks for making this– I’m trying it tonight!
How do we make the AE party dip?
Hope you are doing well-haven’t seen any posts in awhile! I LOVE this dip, as do my hubs! Question can I sub. dried chopped chives? I have everything except those stinkers! Thanks! ?
Hmmm, I think you could? The chive flavor might not be as strong, is the only thing I can think of!
Can you substitute Greek ff yogurt for the sour cream? That’s all we use now…
Thanks, cannot wait to try
Hi Tina! I’m not sure – I haven’t tried! I find the flavor of plain Greek yogurt is different enough from sour cream that I personally notice the difference in final products when swapped, but if you love the flavor it would probably taste good!
Seriously, I was born and raised in Iowa and I miss HyVee and AE Party Dip. Every. Day.
The struggle is reeeeeal!
I love that this dip can be used with SO much! All the vegetables, please!
Yes Ma’am!
My siblings and I grew up with our mom’s “Cottage Cheese Chive Dip” which is pretty much the same as yours except using cottage cheese instead of sour cream and putting it in the blender or a food processor – absolutely the best dip and fewer calories. Can blend with half of the chives and onions and then mix in the remaining chopped chives and onions. YUM!
Oh I love this idea!!! ??
My Mom used to use drained cottage cheese instead of ricotta in lasagna – love those classic cottage cheese swaps! ;)
Love that this is just five ingredients! And good call on using it as a dip or taco topper, etc. Can’t wait to try it!
I hope you love it, Carissa!
I don’t live in Council Bluffs anymore, but anytime my siblings and I return home to visit my parents, you bet there are many containers of toasted onion dip! And we each have chip preferences of course (wavy lays here, my sister likes Ruffles, and my aunt is a regular lays kind of lady), so my parents spoil us with our favorites! I don’t even wanna talk about how many we go through.
omg their toasted onion dip – SO good. I don’t blame you!!
