Sour Cream and Onion Dip Tips and Variations
You can adjust this recipe to suit your taste preferences. If you want to make this a more high protein snack, use Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. Here are more ideas below.
- Do I have to use mustard? You can leave out the Dijon if you aren’t a fan of mustard.
- Can I make this with Greak yogrt instead? Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream, I recommend using full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Can I use light sour cream? You can use light sour cream but I suggest using full-fat for a better flavor.
- How long should I let it set up in the fridge? I recommend letting the dip set for at least an hour to let the flavors mingle and bolden in the dip before serving.
How to Properly Store Onion Dip
- Refrigerator: You can store leftover dip in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: I don’t recommend freezing this dip. Serve it fresh or kept in the fridge.
