I love a good dip. Between my beef and bean dip and my garlic cashew dip, it can be hard to choose.

But sometimes you want something quick and easy, which is where this sour cream salsa dip recipe comes in.

If there’s an easier dip, I’m not sure what it is.

All you need for this salsa and sour cream dip is what’s in the title – salsa and sour cream.

Mix them together and you’re done.

This dip is great for a variety of foods, from nachos to cut up veggies, but it’s also great as a dressing. I like to use it on my nacho salad (which is actually where I got the idea for it).

Grab these two ingredients

Mild salsa – you can use smooth or chunky salsa for this dip, just keep in mind the smoother your salsa is the thinner your dip will be. You can also use medium or hot salsa if you’d like a little more heat in your dip.
Sour cream – full fat sour cream is recommended, but you can use low fat sour cream (or half full fat and half low fat) if you’d like.

What to serve with this mild salsa dip recipe

My family has some favorites for this dip (namely tortilla chips), but there are lots of options! Here are some ideas:

chips and crackers (especially nachos!),
bread (like a garlic bread or cheese bread, gluten free or otherwise),
cut veggies (like carrots or celery),
or use it as a salsa sour cream dressing, like on this easy nacho salad!

Salsa dip tips

You can add salt and pepper if you’d like your dip more flavored, just keep in mind how salty the food you’ll be eating with it is. If you’re eating with salty chips or crackers you likely won’t need additional salt; if you’re eating it with veggies you may.
You can easily increase or decrease the amount of dip you make, just use a 2 to 1 ratio (2 parts sour cream to 1 part salsa).
Make the dip thicker and creamier by adding slightly more sour cream, or make it thinner by adding slightly more salsa.
