Hey, snack lovers!
Are you on the hunt for the perfect dip? I’ve got a tasty treat for you today!
Say hello to my Greek yogurt French onion dip.
It’s creamy, flavorful, and way healthier than the traditional version.
Perfect for chips, veggies, or just digging in with a spoon—no judgment here!
Let’s dive into this deliciousness!
Possible Ingredient Alternatives
Greek yogurt can be replaced with dairy-free alternatives like coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt for a vegan option. These substitutes maintain a creamy texture and tangy flavor. Use a 1:1 ratio, but note that the final taste may be slightly different.
Mayonnaise can be substituted with mashed avocado or vegan mayonnaise for a healthier or plant-based alternative. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. Avocado will add a green tint to the dip but provide healthy fats and a creamy texture.
Dried onion flakes can be replaced with finely minced fresh onions or shallots for a more intense flavor. Use about 1/2 cup of fresh onions, sautéed until soft and cooled before adding to the dip. This substitution provides a fresher taste and additional nutrients. Adjust the amount to taste, as fresh onions can be stronger than dried flakes.

Ingredients
- 2 cups greek yogurt (any fat level, i prefer nonfat)
- 1/4 cup optional mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup dried onion flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
Add yogurt, mayonnaise, dried onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to a mixing bowl.
Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well-combined and smooth.
This will ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Step 2: Refrigerate the Dip
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for a minimum of 5 minutes.
During this time, the dried onions will absorb moisture and soften, while the flavors meld together.
For best results, consider refrigerating for a longer period.
Step 3: Serve and Garnish
Once the dip is adequately chilled and the onions are softened, serve it as desired.
Consider garnishing with fresh parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
Serve the dip chilled alongside your choice of chips or veggies.
Step 4: Storing the Dip
If you have leftovers, place the dip in an airtight container and refrigerate it.
The dip can be stored this way for up to 5 days.
Stir well before serving again to ensure the best texture and flavor.
