How To Make 3-Ingredient Easy Onion Dip Recipe
It takes just 10 minutes to make this easy onion dip recipe all you need are simple ingredients that you probably have at home.
Ingredients
The 3 ingredient onion dip is made of:
- Sour Cream – Sour cream is a simple dairy product that is keto-friendly and healthy.
- Cream Cheese – Cream Cheese is a fresh keto-friendly cheese.
- Ranch Dressing – I use my homemade ranch dressing recipe for the best flavors but store-bought works as well if you’re in a rush.
Instructions
Making this dip is the easiest recipe!
All you have to do is to combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
You can use an electric beater to make it easier to beat the cream cheese and make it fluffier.
If you don’t have a beater, you can use a fork or a potato masher.
Incorporate any of the optional ingredients to vary the flavors. You can place the dip into smaller ramekins and create different tastes for each.
Serving 3-Ingredient French Onion Dip
I recommend serving this easy onion dip with any of the following:
- Fresh low-carb vegetables: such as cucumber, or celery.
- Smoked Cauliflower or Buffalo Cauliflower.
- Keto Tortilla Chips, Brussels Sprout Chips, or Keto Corn Chips.
Storage Instructions
You can store this dip for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
I don’t recommend freezing it as sour cream tends to crystalize and loses its texture.
