1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Time 5h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium yellow onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, and dill, will give your onion dip a bright, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the onions. Onions should be cooked until they are softened but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Let the dip cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dip to thicken up.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Potato chips, crackers, and vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

Onion dip is a classic party appetizer that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, tangy flavor and endless variations, onion dip is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
