Notes

Can I use low-fat sour cream for this dip? Yes, you can use low-fat sour cream if you prefer a lighter version of the dip. However, the dip may be slightly tangier and less creamy than when made with full-fat sour cream. 
 
How can I make my sour cream dip thicker? You can drain the sour cream before mixing to help remove excess liquid or add more sour cream to thicken the dip. Be sure the sour cream is chilled when serving; it also helps make it thicker.
