Our 10-minute sour cream chip dip is the easiest, tastiest dip you will ever find. Its creamy taste makes it a great side dish that pairs well with pretty much anything from chips to veggies. We get asked to bring it to almost every gathering now.

This sour cream chip dip is so tasty! Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved sour cream chip dip. They were always so delicious but each was missing just a little something. That's why I decided to create my own.

What makes this the BEST dip

Perfect base- Some sour cream chip dips only have basic ingredients, like sour cream. However, I found that combining the creamy goodness of both sour cream and cream cheese make it extra special. It takes minimal effort, which makes this creamy dip even better.

Seasoned just right- Other recipes also use extra seasonings, such as garlic powder, garlic salt, and black pepper, but I find less is more when it comes to this incredible chip dip. You'll find this homemade dip is a big hit and makes a quick appetizer when you are in a pinch. One ingredient I couldn't do without were pimentos. It's so silly but when I was a kid I used to suck out the pimentos from green olives because I loved them so much. I know, I was a weird kid. I loved beets too...

Dip or spread- This isn't just a dip. Something I also like to pair this sour cream chip dip with is a sandwich. Just like school lunches, sandwiches and chips go together. Check out my 15+ Gluten-Free Sandwiches to Love post to find a sandwich to pair with this amazing chip dip in the form of a spread on the bread.

I recommend serving this with some of our other favorite appetizers for the perfect game day or snack spread. The BEST Cheeseball you will ever make, pineapple cheeseball and 4-ingredient hot artichoke dip are great options.

What you need to make it

Since this recipe has simple ingredients, it is almost too easy. In less than ten minutes, this dip is ready for you to snack on. It is perfect for dipping our extra crispy gluten free onion rings!

Gluten-free ranch dip mix

You have probably used this before because ranch dip mix is the best. It can be used with a bunch of different recipes and gives an extra boost of flavor. To enhance our chip dip flavor, gluten-free ranch dip is the key.

Pimentos

I already told you how much I love pimentos, so of course I added them to this recipe. You'll only need ¼ cup, but trust me, it will change the game. But if you are not a pimento fan, you can leave them out of the recipe.

Cream cheese

The combination of cream cheese and gluten-free ranch dip mix is one of my favorite things ever. It is such a great base to a chip dip and really adds the extra creamy flavor. I don't know about you, but my mouth is already watering just thinking about it.

Sour cream

Adding to the cream cheese, sour cream helps make the dip more of a dip. It adds a bit of liquid to the dip so it is not as thick. Sour cream adds the perfect balance for a creamy, delicious chip dip.

How to make the dip

Whip the sour cream and cream cheese with a standing mixer or hand mixer until light. This is the key to get the right texture.
Now you get to stir in the remaining ingredients for that perfect creamy finish.
Place in a serving bowl and add parsley or more chopped chives for a finished look. I love to serve it with chips but also veggies or next to a platter of sandwiches for extra flavor as a spread.

Top tip: This dip is best served cold, so make sure you refrigerate before serving.
