Ingredient List
Sour Cream
The creamy base that gives this dip its smooth texture. For a tangy twist, plain Greek yogurt makes an excellent substitute, and for a dairy-free option, try plant-based sour cream alternatives.
Mayonnaise or Salad Dressing
Adds richness and balance to the flavors. If you’re looking for a lighter or protein-packed alternative, swap with blended cottage cheese or plain Greek yogurt.
Diced Pimiento
These vibrant red peppers add a festive color and subtle sweetness. If you don’t have pimientos, finely diced roasted red peppers work just as well.
Fresh Chives
Adds a mild onion flavor with a pop of green color. If you don’t have access to fresh chives, you can swap it with 2 teaspoons of dried chives
Onion and Garlic Powder
These pantry staples provide savory depth without overpowering the freshness. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your taste.
