Caramelized Onion Dip – Best And Easy

Caramelized onion dip is a savory and creamy dip that features sweet, caramelized onions as the star ingredient. These onions are slow-cooked until they become soft, sweet, and golden brown. They are then mixed with a combination of sour cream or Greek yogurt and mayonnaise to create a rich and flavorful dip. Additional seasonings like garlic powder, salt, and pepper are often added to enhance the taste. This dip is perfect for dipping chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables and is a popular appetizer at social gatherings and parties. Its sweet and savory flavors make it a crowd-pleaser.

Variations and Substitutions:

• Add a small piece of Worcestershire sauce or heat to make the flavor even more intense.
• For a flavor other than these, you can use caramelized shallots or red onions.
• Use Greek yogurt rather than sour cream to make a healthier choice.
• Use different fresh herbs, like chives or dill, for a unique twist.

Why This Recipe Works:

By caramelizing the onions, they are freed of their natural sweetness, which results in a wonderfully sweet and delicious dip. You will get a creamy texture from the mix of sour cream and mayonnaise, so you can dip it.

Storage:

You must keep any remaining drops in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can stay fresh for up to a week.

Serve With:

Caramelized onion dips are excellent with potato chips, tortilla chips, carrot sticks, celery, and even as a spread for sandwiches.
