French Onion Dip is a Crowd Pleaser

Unfortunately, most store-bought dips — including the beloved onion dip in the blue packet — contain MSG, dextrose, the questionable “spices” ingredient, and GMOs.

For someone who is consciously trying to eat better and eliminate processed ingredients, this could prove to be an issue — especially when even organic versions contain maltodextrin.

Thankfully, you don’t have to sacrifice quality of ingredients and taste in order to enjoy your favorite dip!

Homemade French Onion Dip Recipe (3)

Ingredients

Sour cream—Look for a clean brand at the store or you can also make your own with just two ingredients.

Onion—I use onion powder and the minced, dried onion bits.

Seasonings—When you read the list, it is very similar to a ranch seasoning. But this is so much healthier than a packet and you can customize everything. These are basic spices I urge you to keep in your pantry for all of your cooking.

How to Make French Onion Dip

Combine the spices so they are mixed well.

Stir into the sour cream and then chill for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to develop and the onions to soften up.
