Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon dried chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions
- Place the sour cream in a medium mixing bowl and stir until smooth.
- Add dried chopped onion, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Let the dip sit for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- For best results, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Before serving, stir well and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve chilled.
Notes
- Chilling enhances flavor and improves texture.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
- Sautéed fresh onions can replace dried onions for a deeper flavor.
- Add herbs like chives, dill, or parsley for variation.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Stir before serving as separation may occur.
- Do not freeze, as texture may become watery.
