How to...Make Onion Dip from Scratch

Heat a pan on medium and add olive oil.

Add the diced onions to the pan and sauté them for about 15-20 minutes until caramelized, stirring occasionally.

Add salt to the onions while they caramelize.

Check on the onions after about 6 minutes to ensure they are cooking evenly.

Once caramelized, turn off the heat and transfer the onions to a bowl.

Place the bowl in the freezer for about 20 minutes to cool the onions down.

In a separate bowl, add 1.5 cups of sour cream and 3/4 cup of mayonnaise.

Add the cooled caramelized onions to the sour cream and mayonnaise mixture.

Season with a couple cracks of salt, garlic powder, and pepper to taste, then mix well.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with more garlic powder, pepper, and salt if needed.

Refrigerate the dip to cool it down before serving.

Garnish the finished dip with cilantro before serving.
