Substitutions and Additions
- SOUR CREAM: Feel free to use low fat sour cream in this recipe if you prefer. However, I would not recommend using fat free, as it will really change the overall consistency of your dip.
- CREAM CHEESE: There are loads of different cream cheese flavors that exist. If you want to switch things up and try a new flavor, go for it! I would recommend the Garden Vegetable or Spicy Jalapeño flavors for a fun swap.

If you want to make French Onion Chip Dip, tastes just like Lawson’s Chip Dip from years ago, just exchange the Herb & Garlic cream cheese for Chive and Onion and it’s the best ever! Everything else in the recipe you have is exactly the same. This is also such a great dip using pretzels also – so hard to stop eating them. The tiny ones work the best.
