We all have favorite indulgent food that comes out at certain times of the year. For me? It’s green onion dip. It was on the snack table at every holiday party or game day when I was growing up. The “special” green onion dip recipe we used? Let’s just say it started with a packet that had a long, unpronounceable ingredient list.
Making green onion dip at home
Does this taste exactly like the little green packet? I’m not gonna lie – it doesn’t. But it’s good. Good enough that my son commented on it being a really good dip — before he knew the backstory of my homemade version. Serve this green onion dip recipe with fresh veggies or homemade potato chips.
This recipe starts with sour cream, but instead of the little packet, the flavoring for this homemade dip comes from fresh green onions and spices. (You can make your own sour cream, too, if you have access to fresh milk!)

Sour cream — The basis of this green onion dip, much like the store bought packet version, is sour cream. You could substitute Greek yogurt if you like, or use a dairy free yogurt if you have people with special diets to accommodate.
Green onions — Yep, fresh, green onions! Slice thinly or chop even more finely if you don’t like any bits in the dip. (Learn how to grow green onions at home for a ready supply!)
Seasonings — The addition of seasonings like salt, parsley, pepper, turmeric, and celery salt round out the flavors in this delicious homemade dip recipe!
This recipe is easy to mix up, and honestly, the ingredients are something I generally have on hand. Making green onion dip from scratch is another one of those easy conversions from store bought to homemade.
