Mike's Zesty Sour Cream Dip Ingredients

First, gather up the following ingredients:

• Sour Cream. Full-fat gives the richest texture, but light sour cream works if you want it a bit leaner.
• Grated Cheddar Cheese. Sharp cheddar brings the most flavor. Try pepper jack or smoked cheddar for a twist.
• Spicy Brown Mustard. Dijon or whole grain mustard also work. Use what you love.
• Sriracha. Or use your favorite hot sauce.
• Paprika. Use cayenne for a spicier version.
• Garlic Powder. Fresh minced garlic can be used, but start with 1 clove so it doesn’t overpower.
• Lime Juice. Adds brightness. Lemon juice works in a pinch.
• Salt and Pepper. To taste.

How to Make Sour Cream Dip

Add all of the dip ingredients to a large mixing bowl.

Next, mix everything together with spoon, like so.

Get it all mixed up, nice and uniform, until everything is incorporated.

Refrigerate the dip for now until ready to serve.

Serving Ideas

This sour cream dip is super versatile! Here are a few ways to serve it.

• With Chips. Serve with tortilla chips, potato chips, pita chips, or your favorite crunchy dippers.
• Fresh Veggies. Pair it with celery sticks, cucumber rounds, bell pepper strips, or cherry tomatoes for a lighter option.
• Loaded Baked Potatoes. Spoon over baked potatoes or baked potato wedges. Cheddar + sour cream = perfection.
• Nachos. Drizzle over cheesy nachos or serve on the side for dipping. Try my classic nachos recipe.
• Snack Board. Add to a party platter with crackers, cheese cubes, pickles, and roasted nuts.

Storage & Leftovers

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Give it a quick stir before serving, as it may thicken or separate slightly as it chills.

Because it’s dairy-based, avoid leaving it out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Freezing isn’t recommended, as it will separate and lose its creamy texture.
