Ingredients for Bangin French Onion Dip

  • Yellow Sweet Onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • Low Fat Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Bangin French Onion Dip

  1. Thinly slice 2 large yellow onions and quarter the slices.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized, about 30 minutes. (Reduce heat as needed to prevent burning.)
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Set the onion mixture aside to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, gently stir the caramelized onions into the mayonnaise mixture until well combined.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve with your favorite chips or crudités.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
