French Onion Dip

A crowd-pleasing dip of slow-caramelized sweet onions and shallots stirred into a rich sour cream–mayo base.

Ingredients

• 8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 3 large sweet onions (such as Vidalia), thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup small-diced shallots (about 2 large)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups sour cream
• 2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp celery salt
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp minced chives

Steps

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions and shallots, stirring now and then, until golden brown, 20–25 minutes (batch if the pan is crowded). Add garlic for the final minute. Cool about 15 minutes, then chop.
2. Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, Worcestershire, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
3. Stir in the chopped onion mixture. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
4. Give it another stir, top with chives, and serve. Keep refrigerated up to 2 days.
