Easy 2-Ingredient Onion Dip Recipe (No Bowl Needed)
Updated: 6 days ago
Why I Love This Onion Dip
This easy 2-ingredient onion dip takes just a few minutes to mix and can be made right in the sour cream container. It is the simple party dip my mom made for backyard camping, and it still works for vegetables, chips, sandwiches, and more.
What is not to love about this onion dip?! This recipe takes me back to my childhood. I remember my mom making this dip for “camping” in the backyard. This recipe is super simple with just 2 ingredients, and you don’t even need to dirty a bowl. I believe in making this right in the sour cream container; that’s how my mom made it, and that’s how I’ve always made it.
In this week's post, I’ll share how to use this onion dip other than for dipping, and my favorite things to dip!
My Favorite Onion Dip
For this dip, I recommend only using Lipton dry onion soup and Daisy sour cream. I have tried this dip with the “off-brands,” and it doesn’t taste as good. Another recommendation would be to use plain Ruffles ridges chips, again, not the off-brand!
Typically I wouldn’t be so firm on the name brands, but this recipe is best with the name brands. In addition to using this as a dip, I also love using this as a spread for quesadillas, sandwiches, and mixed into salad dressings.
I Dip, You Dip, We Dip - What To Serve With Onion Dip
When I’ve made this dip in the past, I’ve noticed a few things go faster at parties than others. Regardless, all of these veggies taste great with the onion dip.
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Celery
Cherry Tomatoes
Ruffles Chips
Other ideas for veggies to dip: snap peas, cucumber, or wheat thins.
How To Serve The Dip
At home, I make & keep the dip in the sour cream container. Ensuring I mix well after it sits to incorporate the soup into all the sour cream. However, when I take it to parties, I put it into a bowl, and I use a tray along with other small containers to make my veggie tray.

A Tray From Michaels
Glass Containers With Lids (don’t have to worry about losing any veggies!)
Larger Container For Dip
Having both the dip and chips/veggies on a single tray allows you to easily carry this snack to any party. By using containers with lids, you ensure that if you do have an accident or the tray gets tilted, you won’t lose any veggies.
Other Ways To Use Onion Dip
Besides using the classic Ruffles chips to dip into onion dip, I enjoy using the dip for other things in the kitchen.
Topping cabbage and noodles for a savory twist
Adding to bagels, and then topping with smoked salmon for a twist on the classic cream cheese & smoked salmon
Using in place of mayonnaise on a sandwich
Incorporating into cucumber salad, potato salad, or egg salad
