Recipe Ingredients

This healthy French onion dip recipe uses simple ingredients for a creamy texture and delicious flavor.

Plain Greek yogurt – Use plain full-fat yogurt or nonfat Greek yogurt. Or get wild and use a different variety for a flavor twist. Can replace part of it with sour cream for a flavor twist.

Mayo – Full-fat mayo is recommended for the best flavor, but low-fat can also be used. Omit entirely and use all yogurt for a healthier recipe.

Onions – You can use dried minced or up to ½ cup of sweet caramelized onions.

Worcestershire sauce – The secret ingredient! Don’t skip it, unless you avoid fish. The recipe only calls for 1 tablespoon, but you can use up to 2 tablespoons for a bolder flavor.

Garlic powder – if all you have is garlic salt, omit the salt from the ingredients.

Salt – Any variety, to taste.

Recipe Notes

• Additional spices or fresh herbs can be added, depending on tastes and what you have on hand. Fresh chives are a great addition.
• Make the dip a few hours in advance so the flavors have a little time to develop.
• Caramelize some chopped smaller pieces of yellow onions or sweet Vidalia onions until they are golden brown for an extra oniony dip.
• Replace Worcestershire with some soy sauce, tamari, or liquid aminos for a fish-free option.
• Dairy free yogurt and egg-free mayo for a vegan option when combined with anchovy-free Worcestershire.
