Discover Real Flavor: Homemade Onion Dip Recipe
For over fifty years, Chef Camille has savored the classic onion dip made with a dry soup mix and sour cream. It was a nostalgic delight. However, as she and Chef Scott embarked on a journey toward healthier eating, they began scrutinizing ingredient labels more closely. The canned soups and soup mixes she once loved contained hidden sugars, starches, and seed oils—ingredients we wanted to avoid. This realization prompted them to create a homemade onion dip recipe using simple, pronounceable ingredients. This photo shows the Onion Dip being served with crispy pork rinds and Hawaiian SPAM jerky.
Why Homemade?
Making onion dip from scratch ensures you know exactly what goes into it. No mystery ingredients or unnecessary additives. Plus, the flavor is unbeatable—you can customize it to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.
Ingredients:
2 cups sour cream
2 teaspoons onion salt
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
3 tablespoons dried onion flakes
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add sour cream, onion salt, onion powder, granulated garlic, and dried onion flakes.
Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
Chill Overnight: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip overnight, allowing the flavors to meld.
Adjust Consistency: The dip will be thick. If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually add heavy cream until desired thickness is achieved.
When shopping for ingredients, remember to read labels diligently. Opt for products without additives like "modified food starch" and artificial flavors. Choosing quality ingredients ensures your homemade dip is not only delicious but also aligns with your health goals.
By making your own onion dip, you're taking control of your food choices and enjoying a healthier, tastier alternative to store-bought mixes. Embrace the simplicity and purity of homemade cooking—your taste buds and body will thank you!
