Easy Onion Dip!

- Nearly zero prep time except for whisking and optional chilling! Onion soup mix packets should be required pantry items in every kitchen for last-minute dips, dressings, and sauces!
- Double up the recipe and use it all week long as a topping for baked potatoes, or added to garlic mashed potatoes. Or whisk some into a creamy ham and potato soup for an even more savory flavor.
3 Ingredient Recipe
Soup Mix – Lipton’s is the classic, but any store brand of onion soup mix will work! Feel free to accent the flavor profile with extra onion or even garlic powder.
Dairy – Sour cream and mayonnaise add a tangy, creamy base for onion dip. Add extra cream or a bit of half-and-half, if desired. Feel free to play with the dairy to get the flavor and texture desired. Incorporate some cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a thicker texture.
Extras – Onion dip is perfect for ‘dressing up!’ Try some fresh herbs like parsley, fresh chives, and thyme, or a sprinkle of paprika for color! Toss in a splash of Tabasco or hot sauce for a zesty kick!
How to Make Onion Dip
- Whisk all ingredients in a bowl.
- Garnish with extra sliced green onions.
- Chill or serve immediately with chips or vegetables.
Best Ways To Use Onion Dip
This onion dip recipe is a staple dip for veggies and chips. But it’s also delicious as a dip for cheesy breadsticks, roasted asparagus, bacon wrapped tater tots and air fryer brussels sprouts. Use it as a spread on chicken sliders or a sauce over pork, chicken, or fish, and add flavor and zest to recipes like stuffed tomatoes and deviled eggs. The possibilities are endless!
Storage Ideas
Keep leftover onion dip in a covered container for up to 5 days. Onion dip can be frozen into cubes and added to future sauces and stir-fries but won’t work as a dip due to its high dairy content. But it’s so easy to make, simply whip up another batch!
