How to make sour cream and chive dip
Get a bowl and add all the ingredients in. Give it a good stir and you are done!
How to make this dip lighter
I used 1:1 sour cream to mayonnaise ratio. Now you can use 2:1 so say for ½ cup sour cream you only use ¼ cup of mayonnaise. Plus you can use light mayo.
Ingredient substitution:
- Sour cream can be substituted with Greek yogurt or crème fraiche.
- Garlic – if you don’t like it, omit it.
- Chives should not be omitted or substituted with dried chives. It will not taste the same!

This recipe is so good! I hadn’t had sour cream & chives for years (our grocery store carries french onion dip instead & I’m not a fan).
Anyway, it is a great recipe to have. Thank you so much!!
