Ingredients for 5 Minute Million Dollar Dip
With just a few simple ingredients, you can create make a dip that you won’t be able resist. If you want to substitute the mayonnaise, you can use Greek yogurt or even sour cream, but the mayonnaise is a key ingredient in bringing this dip together. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
- Green Onions: Their mild taste and crunchy texture are perfect in this dip!

Quick Tips
Upgrade your 5-minute million-dollar dip with just a few quick and easy tips! There are ways to swap out ingredients or add additional ones to change this dip up every time you make it!
- Cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar works best in this recipe. Packaged cheese typically lacks the flavor and texture that fresh cheese has. You can substitute cheddar for aged Gouda or Gruyere.
- Mayonnaise: You can substitute mayo for sour cream or Greek yogurt, but I have found that mayonnaise works best to achieve a perfectly creamy texture.
- Almonds: You can chop your almonds into smaller pieces for bite-sized texture.
- Flavor Additions: Add garlic, homemade ranch, or Italian seasoning for an extra flavor in your dip!
What to Serve With 5 Minute Million Dollar Dip
I love using bigger crackers like Ritz for this dip, but it also tastes amazing with tortilla chips and pretzels. Kettle chips are also a great pairing with their thicker texture and bite. You can make some of my quick and easy air fryer potato chips for a snack match made in heaven!
Storing Million Dollar Dip
Storing dips is just as easy as making them. I love making dips ahead of time for parties or get-togethers and this one stores so well in the fridge. n fact, it might even taste better on day 2!
Make Ahead of Time: You can make this ahead of time and store it in your fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Just give it a good stir and sprinkle it with some additional toppings to make it fresh.

I followed the recipe exact and mine turned out super salty. Could it have been the bacon? I used the Black Label Hormel real bacon bits.
Really like this dip, just wondering if it can be frozen?
This dip is best when it’s made fresh! You can refrigerate it for a few days, though after you make it!
I accidentally baked it the second time that I made it. Everyone loved it. They liked it much better then cold. It had such a wonderful burst of flavors when baked. Now it’s expected of me to make this dip for every occasion. 🙂
Ooh that sounds delicious!
I thought the mayo was overpowering the flavor of the dip. I may try with cream cheese.
I thought the exact same thing! We end up throwing most of it away. I followed measurements exactly.
Oh no! I’m so sorry. This dip is one of my favorites! You should try out a few other ones and see if you like them better!
I know this as Neiman Marcus Dip, identical
I’ve been making it for years, literally the quickest appetizer to pull together for any occasion or to bring to someone’s house at the last minute. I do like the suggested additions though
Made this for a party & nobody liked it, they all thought it was very bland. The recipe was followed exactly as written. Definitely will not be making again.
This sounds wonderful and easy (which I need in my life)!
My question is….. can you substitute the mayo for sour cream? Just the thought of mayo turns my stomach
Thank you in advance for answering
You can try sour cream or greek yogurt! Those are common substitutes for mayo. The taste may be a little bit different but it will still be delicious!
Every time I make this I am asked for the recipe by multiple guests!! It is a sure winner. I do add some garlic powder and some hot sauce to spice it up again and serve with wheat thins! I have also substituted creamed cheese for the mayonnaise. Best Foods /Helms Mayonnaise works best!!
Can the almonds be substituted with walnuts or pecans? I cannot eat almonds, and I really want to try this dip!
I always use pecans and it’s delicious. 🙂
Absolutely one of my go to dips. Sometimes I switch it up. It is wonderful with horseradish. As much as you like.
I’ve made this many of times for my client lunch and learns. They always end up asking for the recipe so I make sure to print off some and leave it next to the dish. I omit the almonds when doing it for a public event and it’s still delicious!
I just made this for the festivities after our Church Christmas play tonight. It is simply marvelous. I did add ranch flavoring and a little onion powder because I was short on green onions.
nice post
My friend spreads a spoonful of this mixture on those little rye breads, she does a full cookie sheet of them, then heat in the oven, maybe broiler, for a wonderful hors-d’oeuvre.
If you really want to take this to the next level, skip the almonds and top it with strawberry preserves! It sounds weird but it’s REALLY good. (I’ve been making something almost just like this recipe for years. It’s always a hit.)
This is actually a million dollar tip .This article is really very interesting and effective.
