Vidalia onions are sweet and mild, making them ideal for dips. You have two options:

Option 1: Raw: Finely chop the onions for a crisp, fresh flavor. Option 2: Caramelized:

Heat a small skillet over medium heat.

Add a teaspoon of olive oil.

Sauté chopped Vidalia onions for 5–10 minutes until golden and fragrant.

Let cool slightly before mixing.

Caramelized onions give the dip a richer, sweeter flavor and a softer texture.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine sour cream and dry onion soup mix.

Stir until the soup mix is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Fold in the prepared Vidalia onions.

Tip: If you want an extra creamy texture, use a whisk instead of a spoon.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

While optional, chilling enhances the sweetness of the onions and the savory notes of the dip.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.

Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or a light drizzle of olive oil.

Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
