French onion dip is perfect for gluten-free and keto snacking when served on a veggie platter with celery and bell pepper sticks or broccoli and cauliflower florets.
Ingredients for French Onion Dip
Onions – Use sweet onions such as Vidalia or Walla Walla for a sweeter dip. Yellow or white onions will work just fine in this recipe too. Sour Cream – Full-fat sour cream is nice and thick and adds richness. It can be replaced with plain Greek yogurt. Mayonnaise – I prefer full fat mayonnaise or dressing in this recipe as the reduced fat versions are sweeter in flavor. Seasonings – Add some garlic powder or fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Variation: For a thicker dip, substitute 4 ounces of softened, whipped cream cheese for ¼ cup of sour cream.

Delicious Dippers
Make it the centerpiece on a tray of colorful veggies, like carrot sticks or celery. Serve it with potato chips, crostini or your favorite crackers. Try it with golden brown soft pretzels or pretzel bites.
Storing French Onion Dip
French onion dip can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Do not freeze, as the cream and mayonnaise base will not thaw well. Just make a new batch every time!
