Vegan Sour Cream and Onion Dip Recipe

This vegan sour cream and onion dip is a flavorful plant-based party favorite! The perfect dip for chips, vegetables, or crackers.

This classic party dip gets an upgrade with creamy, dairy free ingredients and fresh onions for a tasty and irresistible appetizer.

Chips and dip are such a classic combination – we had them at every party, sleepover, barbecue, and super bowl I can remember!  I wanted to make a vegan version that was high protein and dairy free.  This 5 minute blender sour cream dip couldn’t be easier to make – add all the blender ingredients, mix, and fold in the green onions at the end for a fresh and fun party classic.

This dip is great for classic potato chips, added to a baked potato, or just as a dip for veggie sticks.  This is one dip that will go FAST at your next gathering, take my word for it.

This Vegan Sour Cream and Onion Dip Recipe Is:

• Bright
• Fresh
• Loaded with flavor
• A great last-minute vegan party dip idea
• Made mostly with pantry staple spices and ingredients
• Vegan, gluten free, high protein, and SO good!

What’s In This Dairy Free Sour Cream and Onion Dip?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Silken Tofu – or if you don’t like tofu you can use a dairy free sour cream.
• Nutritional Yeast: not to be confused with bread baking yeast, nutritional yeast has a cheesy nutty umami flavor which is great in all kinds of dishes – I even sprinkle it on fresh popped pop corn and WOW!  Also great in soups and sauces of all kinds.
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Fresh lemon juice
• Red Wine Vinegar: I used red wine vinegar to give this dip a really nice bright flavor – for that, this red wine vinegar is my go-to!
• Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that get used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
• Yellow Onions – I blend a bit of yellow onion into the dip to give it a light subtle onion flavor
• Green Onions – to fold into the dip, and also for extra garnish on top!

A No-Cook Dip Recipe That’s Perfect for Summer

This no-cook onion and sour cream dip is a quick and simple recipe.  I love a good no-cook recipe for those days when I’m not feeling like standing around the stove, or for summer nights when I want a snack but it’s too hot to cook. I have a whole collection of recipes that require zero cooking at all, check them out here! 

This dip comes together in about 5 minutes in your blender, and doesn’t require the stove or microwave to make. Just use a few pantry staple ingredients and you have a quick meal ready in no time.  And very little to clean up afterwards… an added bonus!

How Do I Make Sour Cream and Onion Dip Vegan?

1. Add all ingredients except the green onions to a blender or food processor, and mix on low speed until the tofu becomes creamy and thick. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
2. Transfer the dip to a bowl. Fold in half of the green onions into the dip, and sprinkle the other half on top.
3. Dip chips, veggies, or crackers… and enjoy!
