French Onion Dip

  • Let the caramelized onions cool slightly, then give them a rough chop so they blend evenly throughout the dip. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped caramelized onions, 3-4 mashed roasted garlic cloves, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, and salt. Stir until smooth and well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for even better flavor, before serving.

Notes

  1. Sour Cream: Substitute with greek yogurt for a lighter version or crème fraîche for a super-rich version. 
  2. Mayonnaise: Regular mayo, homemade mayo, light mayo, or Kewpie mayonnaise can be used. 
  3. Serve with chips, crackers, and fresh vegetables.
