How to Make Best Ever Fresh Onion Dip

  1. Finely chop 2 large Texas 1015 sweet onions.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped onions with 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gently stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (optional).
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 2 hours or more.
  5. Serve chilled with your favorite pretzels, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
