🧅 3-Ingredient French Onion Dip
Makes: About 2 cups
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes (recommended for best flavor)
🛒 Ingredients
-
1 cup sour cream (full-fat works best for texture and flavor)
-
1 cup mayonnaise
-
1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton’s Recipe Secrets Onion Soup Mix)
Optional additions if you want to get fancy: a splash of Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of garlic powder, or fresh chives for garnish.
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Combine ingredients:
In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and dry onion soup mix until well blended. -
Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours). This allows the dried onions and seasonings to soften and the flavors to meld. -
Serve:
Give it a quick stir before serving. Garnish with fresh chives if desired. Serve with potato chips, ridged chips, crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.
💡 Tips & Variations
-
Lighter version: Use light sour cream and light mayonnaise. It will still taste great, though slightly less rich.
-
Extra tang: Swap half the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt.
-
Add texture: Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of caramelized onions or finely chopped green onions for a fresher taste.
-
Make it a veggie dip: Thin it slightly with a little milk or buttermilk if you prefer a dippable consistency for raw veggies.
-
Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 4–5 days in an airtight container.
This dip is proof that simple ingredients can deliver big flavor—and it’s always the first thing to disappear at parties!
