I was eating some veggie dip and was like "this stuff is pretty expensive and seems to be just like salad dressing, but *maybe* thicker". Does anybody know what the difference is between a dressing and a dip? Is it strictly the thickness? I haven't looked into it yet but i think dressing is cheaper so i figured maybe i should stop getting $3.80 things of veggie dip and get me some dressing.

There isn't an awful lot of difference apart from thickness which is obviously so,the dressing is meant to be poured over a salad,while the dip as the name suggest should be thick enough for you to dip your finger held food into,so that it comes out coated.If it's only for personal use with economy in view one can always make do.

Dressing is on a salad which is thinner and dip is thicker and used to "dip" food into it. It's really not much of a difference

You scoop the dip with the veggie or chip, etc.
You pour the dressing on the salad or etc.

dip is much thicker so that when you dip something into it it wont just run off. Dressing is much thinner.

dressing usually goes on top of something, it is usually thinner where dip (self-explanatory lol) is usually a thicker, creamier base because it has to hold on to a chip or carrott.
