Ingredients for French Onion Dip
- Onions – Use sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla for a sweeter dip. Yellow or white onions will also work great in this recipe.
- Sour cream – Full fat sour cream is nice and thick and adds richness. It can be replaced with plain Greek yogurt.
- Mayonnaise – I prefer full-fat mayonnaise or salad dressing in this recipe because the reduced-fat versions have a sweeter flavor.
- Seasonings – Add garlic powder or fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Variation: For a thicker dip, substitute 4 ounces of softened whipped cream cheese for ¼ cup sour cream.
