Green Onion Dip is deliciously fresh and creamy, made with both cream cheese and sour cream with green onions, lemon juice and parsley. It’s an amazing dip that goes with just about anything, but we love it with our favorite chips, crackers, and raw vegetables.
Try this quick and simple, fresh herb-filled snack at your next barbecue, on game day, or at your 4th of July party!
Green Onion Dip
Green Onion Dip is one of my favorite sides to potato chips and chopped veggies like carrots and bell peppers. While the classic store bought packets are great, since discovering this recipe, the two don’t even compare.
This recipe is fresh and so creamy, the tangy lemon juice compliments the bold green onion and parsley so well, you will want to make a double batch!
Definitely a classic crowd-pleaser dip that is great for any occasion. Take just 5 minutes to whip it together, plus a bit of chill time to settle the flavors together, and it’s ready to serve.
It’s a great recipe to have on hand for last-minute party prep and it’ll go with just about anything else you have on your table spread.
Feel free to customize this green onion chip dip by adding some heat to it with cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce, it is so versatile in flavor.
We love this dip all year round from super bowl to game day to Thanksgiving, it’s one of those recipes we make again and again! Try it with these Cheesy Fries with Bacon or Crispy Popcorn Shrimp for an amazing appetizer or snack.
Why this recipe is awesome
- Quick and Easy – ready in 35 minutes
- Simple Ingredients – made with easily sourced ingredients
- Incredible Flavor – creamy, fresh onion and herbs with a subtle citrus element
- Perfect for a Crowd – make a double or triple batch easily if needed
Ingredients Needed
Cream Cheese – Use full fat, reduced fat, or fat-free. To prevent clumps, soften or bring it to room temperature before blending.
Sour Cream – Or use plain Greek yogurt for this if you like.
Green Onions – AKA Scallions. If you can choose your own fresh green onions at a vegetable stall go for thinner ones if you prefer a milder taste or thicker ones for a more bold flavor.
Parsley – I always prefer to use fresh herbs, but you can substitute for dried ones if you need to, just use half the amount.
Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best.
Pantry Staples – Garlic, salt, and pepper.

How long does it last?
Countertop: Try to only leave the dip out on the counter for a maximum of 2 hours at a time as it is full of dairy. If the party might last longer, only put out half and then refill the container when it’s empty.
Refrigerator: Place in an airtight container or cover tightly in plastic wrap for up to 7 days. Stir before serving again.
Can you freeze Green Onion Dip?
I wouldn’t recommend freezing this dip as dairy tends to separate if frozen, and the herbs will turn brown!
Are Green Onions and Scallions the same thing?
To put it shortly, yes. The difference between green onions and scallions is simply how they have been labeled in the store.
However, spring onions are different in that their bulbs are bigger than those of green onions, yet you can switch them out in recipes that call for either of them.
What does Green Onion Dip go with?
Green Onion Dip goes with just about anything! We love it with chips, crackers, and chopped vegetables as a sharing snack.
But you can also use it as a condiment for a salad, as a topping for tacos, or to make that sandwich extra delicious.
Tapas Tips & Tricks
