Make This {Healthier} Green Onion Dip Recipe for Your Next Gathering

Made from fresh ingredients, this homemade green onion dip recipe is a healthier stand-in than store-bought flavor packets. Add this easy sour cream dip to your next Superbowl party or holiday appetizer buffet.

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 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.

This green onion dip 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!)

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.
