What is Million Dollar Dip?
Maybe you’re wondering what it’s called million dollar dip? It’s because it tastes like a million bucks! It’s that good and – bonus! – it’s one the easiest dips to make.
It’s also called Neiman Marcus dip because it was apparently served at the restaurant in the department store. Whatever you want to call it, it’s delicious.
Why You Will Love This Easy Million Dollar Dip!

Once you try this million dollar dip recipe it’ll be a go-to at your house like it is at mine. You’re going to love it!
Ingredients for Million Dollar Dip
- Mayonnaise – This gives the dip a creamy rich flavor.
- Shredded cheddar cheese – Mild or sharp cheddar cheese works great!
- Chopped green onions – I like to finely chop them for the dip and I use some for garnish, too.
- Bacon bits – Use store-bought bacon bits or try my air fryer bacon and finely chop it.
- Slivered almonds – Look for them in the baking aisle at the grocery store.
- Garlic powder
Is there a substitute for the mayonnaise?
If you want to lighten up the dip, you can use half mayo and half sour cream or Greek yogurt. If you don’t want to use any mayonnaise, you can use the same amount of sour cream but the dip won’t taste the same. It will still be delicious, but won’t have that rich flavor.

How to Make Million Dollar Dip
Mix: Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
Chill: Cover the bowl and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight.
Serve! Garnish the dip with extra green onions and serve it will your favorite dippers.
What To Serve Million Dollar Dip With
- We love it with Ritz crackers, saltines, Wheat Thins, and other crispy crackers.
- Some veggie sticks like carrots and celery are great with it!
- For more veggie goodness add some sliced bell peppers, sliced cucumbers, broccoli florets, and cauliflower florets.
- Pretzels sticks and tortilla chips are also delicious with it.
Storage and Serving Tips
You can make it up to a day in advance! Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.
Because it’s made with mayonnaise, don’t leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours. You should refrigerate it even sooner if it’s warm.
Leftover million dollar dip will keep for several days in the refrigerator.
Variations
This is a really easy recipe to switch up, so have fun trying these variations:
- Change up the cheese and use blue cheese crumbles, shredded Swiss cheese, Gruyere, or Colby Jack.
- For a kick of heat, try adding a few pinches of cayenne pepper.
- Add some Ranch seasoning!
Every party needs a delicious snack and this million dollar dip is always a winner! You don’t have to wait for a party, though, make a batch and keep it in the fridge for a quick snack. You will love every scoop!
