Elegant Onion Dip
If you haven’t already settled on what you are cooking for the Super Bowl of meals, the time is now. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or contributing a dish or two or three, you want to write your shopping list today and even head to the store if you can find the time. The crowds in the produce aisles will only worsen as the week goes on. Seize the day!
This recipe is for a simple, elegant onion dip that is made from ingredients that you may already have on your list. It can be whisked together in all of five minutes and is perfect served with a bag of chips in a crystal bowl. To keep the pre-game on the lighter side, you can serve the dip alongside a fabulous crudite platter. In most cases I would argue that nothing beats good ole Lipton Onion Soup Mix Dip but for a holiday such as this, it’s nice to step it up a notch. So treat your nearest and dearest to this Elegant Onion Dip adapted from the Sour Cream-Onion Dip from Tasting Table.
Happy Thanksgiving!
