Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- Salt to taste
- Chips for serving
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise, ensuring they are thoroughly blended until smooth and creamy.
- Open the onion soup mix packet and pour the entire contents into the sour cream and mayonnaise mixture, stirring carefully to distribute the dry seasoning evenly throughout the dip.
- Wash and finely chop the fresh chives into small, uniform pieces using a sharp knife.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives into the dip and gently fold them in, creating a consistent distribution of green herb throughout the mixture.
- Taste the dip and add salt if needed, keeping in mind that the onion soup mix already contains salt. Mix well to incorporate any additional seasoning.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop, which will enhance the overall taste of the dip.
- Before serving, remove from refrigerator and give the dip a quick stir. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with additional chopped chives if desired.
- Serve chilled with your favorite chips for dipping, such as potato chips, kettle chips, or corn chips.
Tips
- Chill Out: Always refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify, creating a more complex and delicious taste.
- Quality Matters: Use full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise for the richest, creamiest texture. Low-fat versions can make the dip less smooth and flavorful.
- Customize Your Herbs: While chives are classic, feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like finely chopped green onions or dill for a unique twist.
- Seasoning Secret: Taste the dip before serving and adjust salt carefully, as the onion soup mix is already quite salty.
- Serving Suggestion: For the ultimate experience, serve with a variety of chips – mix kettle chips, ridged potato chips, and corn chips for different textures and flavors.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making it perfect for party planning and meal prep.
