Ranch veggie dip is creamy, flavorful, and comes together in minutes. All you need are four ingredients including sour cream, cream cheese, mayo, and a packet of ranch seasoning! It’s an effortless way to elevate a veggie platter or bowl of potato chips. Whether you serve it for a party or as a tasty snack, this easy dip will be a hit every single time!

Living in the Midwest, veggie platters have always been a staple at virtually any gathering. From birthday celebrations to picnics and potlucks to holiday parties, a veggie tray is a classic appetizer, snack or side dish. No veggie platter is complete with a veggie dip and this recipe definitely beats serving with a bottle of ranch dressing.

While you can always choose a store-bought ranch dip, I can tell you with experience that this ranch veggie dip blows any dip from the store I’ve ever purchased out of the water. Semi-homemade is where it’s at!

Using a ranch seasoning mix, this basic recipe keeps it simple while still getting that homemade creamy dip texture we all love. This is the best dip for a veggie tray! I have used ranch seasoning for everything from 7 can soup to ranch bacon dip to this skull cheese ball. It’s very versatile.

Ranch Veggie Dip Recipe Ingredients

To make this easy ranch veggie dip, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• cream cheese
• sour cream
• mayonnaise
• ranch seasoning mix (I used Hidden Valley Ranch but you can try my Homemade Ranch Dip which uses fresh herbs and pantry spices or you can make homemade ranch seasoning if preferred.)
• fresh chives (optional)

I used fresh chives for my garnish but they are entirely optional. You could also used fresh parsley or dill if preferred or skip it altogether.

This recipe was tested with the full fat version of sour cream and mayonnaise. You can substitute the lighter versions but it will result in a less rich, less creamy dip. Another option is to reduce the mayo in half and add in extra sour cream to reduce the calories and fat.

Don’t like mayo or don’t have it on hand? Not a problem! You can make this with 2 cups sour cream and leave out the mayo. It will give you a thinner dip with stronger tang, but it is also delicious! Out of sour cream? Try this veggie dip with Greek yogurt instead. Just make sure to use plain Greek yogurt!

How to Make Veggie Dip with Ranch Packet

There aren’t a lot of instructions to make this super simple cream cheese veggie dip, but I’m going to break down the steps anyway! To start, beat your softened cream cheese until nice and creamy.

Add in your sour cream, mayo and ranch seasoning mix and mix until well combined. The ranch dip mix will give you the classic flavor of ranch without extra effort.

Serve immediately or cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Top with chopped fresh chives or other herbs if desired. Serve this ranch dip with your favorite cut vegetables or potato chips for a lovely veggie tray and dip appetizer. Consider offering with a fruit tray and Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip or as a side with some chicken wings or buffalo chicken fingers.

What Veggies to Serve with Dip

Veggies with ranch dip are a party classic! So what vegetables should you serve with dip? Any fresh veggies you like best! Here are just a few of my favorites:

• cherry tomatoes
• broccoli florets
• cauliflower florets
• carrots (either carrot sticks or baby carrots)
• celery sticks
• bell peppers cut into strips
• sugar snap peas

How long does veggie dip last?

This veggie dip with cream cheese will last the fridge for 5 to 7 days if stored properly in an airtight container.

I just love this cream cheese dip for veggies! It is thick, creamy and loaded with flavor. (If you like a thinner dip you can add a splash of milk until it is the consistency you prefer. ) It is a family favorite and must-try vegetable dip recipe in my opinion.
