One of my goals this year is to make more things from scratch at home instead of buying them. We all love French onion dip that can be purchased at the store, so I thought why not try making a homemade chip dip recipe?

This California dip recipe is quick to make with three simple ingredients, cream cheese, sour cream, and onion soup mix.

Easy Dip Recipe

Gotta love quick and easy recipes especially when it's an appetizer recipe. This quick French onion dip recipe can be put together fast and is loaded with flavor. Next time you are entertaining and want a quick and delicious veggie dip this is the perfect recipe.

It can even be made ahead of time, cover with plastic wrap, and store it in the refrigerator. Add this creamy dip to a veggie platter or serve with potato chips.

How To Make

I don't know about you but I love easy appetizers that don't take much to make them and taste amazing. Our 3 ingredient potato chip dip recipe has to be one of the easiest dips to make. This Fench onion dip can be ready to dip chips or veggies in within 5 minutes.

Into a large mixing bowl add room temperature cream cheese, and mix until the cream cheese is fluffy. You can buy the whipped cream cheese and skip this step. Once the cream cheese is whipped and fluffy add in the sour cream and onion soup mix. Blend until well combined. That's it, pretty simple to make and is loaded with onion flavor.

Garnish the top of this sour cream dip with slices of green onion. Serve with plain potato chips or your favorite vegetables.

Tips

When it comes to our recipes we love to share as many tips as we can to make the recipe. For this recipe, the biggest tip would be to keep the ingredients to make this delicious dip on hand at all times. Since this recipe is so easy to put together it's great when last minute guests show up. Or when you are craving an easy snack late at night.

I normally have dry onion soup mix stocked in my pantry, it's easy to find in the soup aisle at the grocery store. It has a mixture of spices that includes dry onions, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.

When it comes to the cream cheese there is a couple of options that would work in this easy chip dip recipe. Low-fat cream cheese as well as Neufchatel cheese. Use room temperature cream cheese because it will mix much easier than cold cream cheese.

This easy 3 ingredients onion dip will need to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Another swap for this recipe would be with the sour cream. Low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt could be used instead of the full-fat sour cream the recipe calls for.

To make this creamy dip a bit spicy mix in a little bit of hot sauce. Bring in more onions flavor by adding in some caramelized onions. Simply sauté some yellow onions or red onions in a pan with some olive oil. I would allow the caramelized onions to cool a bit before adding them in because this is a cold dip recipe. Serve with veggies, potato chips, or tortilla chips for an easy snack.
