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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
