Tangy, dilly vegan sour cream dip is quick and easy to make. It comes together in minutes, even if you choose to make the sour cream from scratch!
Vegan Sour Cream Dip with Homemade or Store-Bought Sour Cream
You can make your vegan sour cream dip with store-bought vegan sour cream or homemade. I've done it both ways, and it works great!
If you want to make your sour cream from scratch, I recommend Gluten Free Pantry's Best Damn Vegan Sour Cream. I have to say: it's aptly named!
You can use her recipe, your favorite homemade sour cream recipe, or packaged vegan sour cream. You do you!

If you're making from-scratch sour cream, you can add the spices in this recipe to the blender when you're making the sour cream itself. It can all come together at once.
For store-bought, just mix the sour cream in your serving bowl with the spices, and you're good to go.
Either way, this simple dip takes about 10 minutes of active time to make. You can serve it right away, but I definitely recommend chilling it.
The chilling time gives the flavors a chance to meld, and you'll have a much more flavorful result if you wait. It also allows the sour cream to thicken up more for the most decadent dipping experience.
How to Store and Use It
You can make this recipe a day or two before your party. It keeps for up to a week in the fridge. If you are making this ahead or if you have leftovers (you won't!), just store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This sour cream dip also works in other applications besides as a dip. It's great dolloped onto baked potatoes or a bowl of soup. I sometimes like to add a spoonful of this dip to a bowl of Vegan Chicken Stew to give it a creamy edge.
Vegan Sour Cream Dip
Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 ounces) vegan sour cream - store-bought or homemade is fin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and white pepper - to taste
- veggies - for dipping
Instructions
- For store-bought sour cream: Combine all of the ingredients except for the veggies right in your serving bowl, and chill the dip for 15-20 minutes before serving.
- For homemade sour cream: If you’re making the sour cream from scratch, you can do it at the same time as you make the dip. Just add the garlic, onion, dill, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the blender along with the sour cream ingredients. Chill for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Different sour creams may have different levels of sourness. Adjust the lemon juice, as needed, to suit your tastes.
- The sour cream recipe I used yielded closer to 1 1/2 cups of sour cream, so I doubled it and saved the extra for baked potatoes.
- Dip will keep for 1 week in the fridge.

can the dried dill be replacef with something else
Becky Striepe
Dill is pretty critical to giving it that ranch flavor, so I would not substitute it.
