Homemade French Onion Dip is the perfect party snack! It’s a creamy, tangy dip filled with caramelized onions.
I’ve made this French Onion Dip several times this week because I was so unhappy with my pictures the first 2 times.
And all 3 times I’ve made it, it was gone within minutes. We’re all obsessed with it.
I’ve always just bought the refrigerated French onion dip but now that I see how easy it is to make homemade and how much better it tastes, I’ll be making it from now on!
Why You’re Going To Love This Recipe
- It is so delicious! It’s creamy and tangy and the sweetness of the caramelized onions comes through perfectly.
- You can make it ahead! The flavor will get even better as it sits in the refrigerator. Perfect for prepping before a party!
- It’s really easy to make! It takes about 20 minutes because you want to cook the onions slowly but other than that, it’s just stirring a few ingredients together.
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Onion – I used sweet yellow onions for this recipe but any white or yellow onion will work.
- Sour cream
- Mayo – light mayo is fine.
- Worcestershire sauce – this adds a deep flavor to the dish.
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- Green onions – for sprinkling on top before you serve. You can also use chives.
How To Make French Onion Dip
- Caramelize onions. Cook onion on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, until deep golden brown. Cool slightly.
- Make dip. Combine sour cream, mayo, worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in cooled onions
- Serve. Top with green onions before serving.
What To Serve With It?
I like to serve plain Ruffles with French Onion Dip. Any plain potato chip would work though!
You could also do baby carrots, celery, cucumbers slices, cherry tomatoes, any vegetable that you typically see on a veggie tray.
How Long Is It Good For?
French onion dip is good for up to 5 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
It needs to be served chilled so it’s fine right out of the fridge.
Can You Make It Ahead?
This dip is perfect when you need a make ahead appetizer. The flavors will meld in the fridge and get even more delicious.
