Ingredient notes + variations
This Cream Cheese Onion Dip uses simple ingredients that you know how to put together. Everything blends into a smooth texture that leaves you begging for another ladle.
The sweet onions add a slight natural sweetness, giving it a mellow taste. The red onion sharpens things up enough that the dip doesn’t feel embarrassing. Cream cheese creates a rich, velvety base that’s perfect for dips. Mayonnaise brings richness. Duke’s brand is my favorite for this recipe. The sour cream should have a smooth, spoonable texture. The vegetable bouillon base creates a framework of flavor and adds depth to the dip.

tips for success
Chill until the dip is solid. Immediately after blending, it will be loose, so cooling it will thicken it and settle into the appropriate texture. Cream cheese mixes easily when used at room temperature. Taste before serving and add a little more bouillon base if you want a deeper flavor.
