3-Ingredient Onion Overton Dip
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
Directions
1. Combine the ingredients
Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, and dry onion soup mix to a medium mixing bowl.
2. Mix well
Stir until the mixture is smooth and the onion seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
3. Chill
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
This gives the dried onion pieces time to soften and allows the flavors to blend.
4. Stir and serve
Give the dip another good stir before serving.
Transfer it to a serving bowl if desired and serve cold with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Tips and Variations
Make it ahead:
This dip tastes even better after several hours in the refrigerator. For deeper flavor, prepare it the night before serving.
Adjust the texture:
For a lighter, tangier dip, replace some of the mayonnaise with extra sour cream.
For a thicker, richer dip, keep the full amount of mayonnaise and chill thoroughly before serving.
Add a little freshness:
Top with sliced chives, green onions, or a light sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
Serving idea:
Use a wide serving bowl and sturdy chips for easy dipping. It also works well as a spread for crackers or fresh vegetables.
Simple, creamy, and packed with savory onion flavor, this nostalgic dip proves that some of the easiest recipes are the ones guests come back to again and again.
