French Onion Dip #SundaySupper

When I was younger sometimes my parents threw parties and invited their friends from work over.  I was a tween at the time and you probably think I was shuttled off to a baby-sitter or neighbor’s house, but you would be wrong.

That’s right, I stayed for the party.  I like to think I was the life of the party, but there were some rather lively characters at some of them, so I had a lot of competition.

Some were more fun than others depending on the people that were there and how much alcohol had been consumed (none by me, promise!).  The first few were my favorite, and I still cherish those memories playing games, talking with the guests, watching Olympic diving.

I grew up mainly around adults, so I fit right in and had great, sometimes deep conversations with a wide variety of people.  It was actually a great way for me to socialize and break out of my shell a little, even if I was still rather socially awkward with my peers.

Food was always, always plentiful at our parties.  Broasted chicken was always a hit, as were cold cuts, shrimp, fruit, and vegetable trays, and Mom’s famous beans.  We didn’t have many dips, but if we had another party, I can assure you French Onion Dip would be on the menu.

This is so easy to make, is gluten free, and isn’t too bad for you since Greek yogurt makes up most of the base.  Plus, the flavor is awesome thanks to roasted onions.  That’s right, we’re not caramelizing onions on the stove for an hour in my house.

Serve with vegetables, crackers, chips, or bread, and the party is sure to start soon.

    This sounds so much better than the salt laden onion dip I grew up with (not that I didn’t inhale that!!). But I appreciate a yummy, made from scratch version 🙂

    I love this dip! I am a dip and potato chip person and this is so much more healthy than my go to Hidden Valley Ranch Dip (sour cream with a packet of ranch dip). I will definitely make this dip for my next get together! Thanks.

    This sounds great! And better by far than using that packaged soup in dip. Really like that you used Greek yogurt, too. Thanks!

I'm a huge fan of both of them after watching Breaking Bad, and I love Dos Hombres mezcal 🍹  They are super nice guys and took their time chatting and taking photos with everyone there. I'm so thrilled I got to attend this event and that it was at the Waldorf, one of my favorite places 🌴💚 The signed and engraved bottle is a fabulous keepsake from an unforgettable evening ✨️
