Step 2: Add the mayonnaise. To the sour cream and onion soup mixture, add the mayonnaise. Stir the mayonnaise into the mixture until everything is fully incorporated.
Step 3: Garnish and serve. Slice the chives thin and top the mixture. Serve with your favorite chip, crackers, or veggie slices.
Tips To Make The Best Onion Dip

- Chill the French onion dip in the fridge for an hour or two (overnight, if possible) for a flavor-packed punch in every bite!
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does onion dip last?
This dip gets better the longer it chills, and you can store it in an airtight container or cover your bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Since sour cream doesn't freeze well, so you'll only want to store it in the fridge.
What is the difference between French Onion and Onion dip?
The biggest difference is the type of onions used in the dip! A French onion dip uses a dehydrated onion soup mix. Onion dips usually use fresh onions that have been caramelized and incorporated into the dip.
What can I serve with French onion dip?
It's delicious with things like homemade Tortilla Chips, potato chips, pretzels, pita chips, bread sticks, or spread on this baguette garlic bread.
