A Reader’s Review
“Simple to make! Plus it was a huge hit! Can’t ask for anything more than that!” -BonBon
Why This Million Dollar Dip Beats the Rest!
- Better Crunch: My Million Dollar Dip uses freshly shredded cheddar and slivered almonds for the perfect mix of creamy and crunchy.
- Flavor That Gets Better: This dip’s flavor gets better as it chills, so you can make it ahead and it’ll taste even better the next day!
- Simplicity Without Sacrifice: My Neiman Marcus Dip comes together in minutes and has the perfect balance of rich, salty, and savory flavors.
Million Dollar Dip Ingredients
- Almonds: Toast your almonds before for maximum nutty flavor.
- Cheese: Use freshly shredded cheddar for the best taste and texture. You can also use aged Gouda or Gruyere.
- Flavor Boosts: Add extra flavor with 1 Tablespoon ranch seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or a few dashes of hot sauce!
- Mayonnaise: You can substitute mayo for sour cream, cream cheese, or Greek yogurt. I have found that mayonnaise works best.

More Dips to Enjoy
If you love dips that can be ready in a hot minute without actually ever breaking a sweat, try my Poolside Dip, BLT Dip, and Jalapeno Popper Dip.
Thanks for the great recipe! Looking forward to making it!
I subbed cream cheese for the mayo and it was really good.
I love this dip but feel like 5 green onions was too much. Next time using 2 or 3. I used leftover extra crispy bacon from breakfast which is always the way to go. Added a few dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce. I think some diced jalapeños would be a great addition to this. Will make this again and again!
Who on earth ever has leftover bacon?? 😉
Looks really delicious!!! (just an fyi – it’s addictive, not addicting – addict is a noun rather than a verb.)
Actually, addict can be a verb and addicting can act as the participle adjective of the verb “to addict”, just as charming and insulting are the participle adjectives of the verbs to charm and to insult. I don’t think anyone would say that you can’t describe a person as charming or a statement as insulting, and similarly it is OK to describe a recipe as addicting.
There’s no seasoning of any kind?
I just made it so now I have to wait, lol. I am so looking forward to serving this while watching the game tomorrow. Thanks so much!
This dip looks yummy! I need to make it nut-free though, due to allergies. Do you have a suggestion of a substitute for the almonds or would you just omit them?
I would just omit them. 🙂
I have the same….allergy issues….I was thinking about using unsalted sunflower seeds….Just a thought I had
How about diced celery??
I used diced water chestnuts. It was really good.
I think some crunch is important in a dip. I would and will when i make it, substitute chopped water chestnuts fir the nuts 🙂
Try sunflower seeds
Can you have sunflower seeds? I would consider them if so…..
Sub with jicama,, water chestnuts or even bamboo shoots
I used slivered water chestnuts instead of the almonds, mmmm!
This called for way too much onion. It was overpowering.
I made this dip for my Women’s group. It was very old, however, the amount of onions was overpowering! I would definitely cut it down to two or three, five was way too much.
***** Correction******
The dip was very good.
We don’t eat bacon. Any substitute?
An imitation bacon usually prepared from smoked, chopped and reformed turkey and commonly marketed as a low-fat alternative to bacon. Turkey bacon can be used as a substitute for bacon too. Hope that helps!!
Yes, we don’t eat pork so I made my own bacon bits with turkey bacon (Costco sells a smoked turkey bacon that is great and that tyoe can be found elsewhere too). I carefully cooked up the bacon to get as crispy a texture as possible, then tore it into small pices when cool and gave it a few blitzes in the food processor to get the right bit-sized little pieces. Workes great…just be sure to not overcook or undercook the turkey bacon: overcooking will make it tough and very unpleasan, even bittert; undercooking isn’t a deal-breaker but that is not such a great texture when it is too soft, and harder to work with in food processor.
Could this be made with plain greek yogurt?
yes! I used plain greek yogurt, just a touch of mayo, and it was fab.
When first made this tasted flat & salty! After chilling overnight, it was Delicious! Put it out for a ball game & it went FIRST & FAST! Will definitely be making it again!!
This sounds amazing! Wonder what half mayo half sour cream would be like in it? Maybe some finely chopped jalapeño for a little kick? Am going to try this for sure.
This looks delish! Can’t wait to try it! Was wondering if you used regular mayo or MW?
The recipe says “mayonnaise” not miracle whip. Those are two entirely different condiments.
This looks so delicious. Thanks for all the great recipes.
hey girl this looks so yummy! I love all kinds of dips!
so how much does this dip create. I am going to our pastors small wedding reception at the church and am bringing a cheese ball with crackers might have to make this along with it as another dish. .
Judging from the amount of ingredients, I’d estimate this recipe makes about 2 cups of dip.
Can you use the dip with tortilla chips
Oh yes!!
Sure I’m gonna try one now! This ones easy to make and ingredients are accessible!
