Sour cream vs Greek yogurt
This dip is traditionally made with sour cream and I do love it like that. But I really want the added protein and fewer calories I can get from substituting Greek yogurt for the sour cream. Then, similar to my Greek yogurt ranch dressing, I make it even more guilt-less by using nonfat Greek yogurt to slash even more calories and saturated fat. Win-win!
Can I use fresh onions for onion dip?
The only way I would use fresh onions in this recipe is if they were caramelized. Otherwise, the dehydrated onion flakes are what make this dip so convenient and give it a classic onion dip flavor!
The best yogurt for onion dip
I personally love to use nonfat Greek yogurt in this onion dip recipe. It's super creamy, slightly tart, and knocks down the fat calories and cholesterol. But if you're into those things, you can use whole milk yogurt.
Can I use an onion soup packet for French onion dip?
You can, but you also get added salt, sugar, or other processed ingredients. I prefer to skip the onion soup packet and use dried onions from my pantry. Then I can be in control of my ingredients across the board.
What's a good substitute for Worcestershire sauce?
Worcestershire sauce adds a classic flavor to homemade French onion dip, but anchovy paste makes it not vegetarian. If you're vegetarian, you can substitute soy sauce.
What to eat with French onion dip
- crackers
- raw vegetables
- French bread
- pita chips
- crostini
- potato chips
- tortilla chips
My favorite guilty pleasure to enjoy with this dip ... potato chips, hands down! Ok, maybe not the healthiest choice of dunking tool, but let's be honest, who doesn't love scooping creamy French onion dip with a ruffled potato chip? The best part is, this yogurt-based recipe lets me feel like I'm balancing out the naughty and the nice

Delicious! I made it exactly as indicated. Tasted it, and then because I’m a saltaholic, added a bit more salt. 😁
Traci says
Haha well it's totally customizable like that. Thanks for trying my recipe and for sharing your experience. Much appreciated!
ReBecca says
For those questioning whether or not it needs the mayo, the mayo adds a bit of depth, similar to the Worcestershire. I added freshly cracked pepper. If you want to mix it up a bit, splash a bit of lime juice in your mix.

You are so welcome! Thank YOU for leaving this feedback! xoxo
Marie says
should be called Worcestershire dip. the flavor is so overpowering. double the onion and halve the Worcestershire. might be ok then.
Traci says
Hmm, I've never heard any complaints about this. The 1/4 teaspoon of Worcestershire in this recipe equals 2 dashes, so maybe try 1 dash next time. Hope you'll try again and enjoy! xoxo
