Homemade Sour Cream And Onion Dip Ingredients
- Oil: I use olive oil in this recipe. You can use any neutral-flavored vegetable oil.
- Onion: I like yellow onions for this recipe.
- Sugar: Just a bit of granulated sugar to help caramelize the onions.
- Soy Sauce: Soy sauce is the secret ingredient to adding a lot of deep flavors. Its savory and salty flavors balance the sweetness of the caramelized onions.
- Garlic Powder + Onion Powder: These both add a gentle garlic and onion flavor.
- Sour Cream: I like full-fat sour cream in this dip. If you want to reduce the fat in this recipe, use plain Greek yogurt.
- Mayonnaise: Use either Best Foods or Dukes, depending on where you live in the country.
- Chives: Adds more mellow onion flavor and a beautiful pop of color.
