Creamy Dairy Bases

Dairy-based dips range from light and tangy to rich and scoopable. Choose the base that matches the vegetables, occasion and texture you want.

Greek Yogurt Dips

Greek yogurt makes a fresh, protein-rich base with a pleasant tang. It works especially well with dill, parsley, chives, lemon and garlic, and pairs easily with cucumber, carrots, peppers and broccoli.

Sour Cream Dips

Sour cream creates a smooth, familiar party dip. Herbs, onion, garlic, spices and citrus can keep the flavor balanced while preserving its creamy texture.

Cream Cheese Dips

Cream cheese gives dips a thick, rich body that holds up well on vegetable trays. Soften it before mixing, and lighten the texture with yogurt, sour cream or a small amount of milk when needed.
