Today I kept it very basic with a nice All-American Caramelized Onion Dip from page 26.
A lot of people make onion dip by taking some powdered onion soup and mixing it with sour cream. Sure it’s easy, but I’ve never been a fan of that kind of dip. The flavor is flat without any nuance and it’s too salty! Martha’s homemade dip is easy too, the only difference is that you need to caramelize your own onions. After that you just whip it together with cream cheese and sour cream and you’re done. For about 10 minutes more work you’ll get a much better dip that has the rich, sweet flavor of onions in every bite. I think it’s worth it.
We ate these with some chips. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, try dipping raw veggies. Of course dips are great for any party, but who needs the excuse of a party when it’s this simple to make this delicious caramelized onion dip just to snack on anytime?
