Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup sour cream full-fat
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise full-fat
  • 2 tablespoon dried minced onion

Notes

For best flavor, make this dip several hours or even a day ahead so the dried herbs and minced onion fully hydrate and blend into the sour cream; full‑fat dairy gives the creamiest texture, but you can substitute light sour cream or Greek yogurt while knowing the dip will be a bit tangier and less rich, and if it thickens too much in the fridge, simply stir in 1–2 tablespoons of milk to loosen it to your preferred consistency—always keep it chilled and discard leftovers that have been at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
