Best easy onion dip that actually tastes like onions

I’m feeling smug to announce that I’ve improved the original with very minimal additional effort. Spending just 2 extra minutes will give you a satisfyingly chunky dip that’s more flavorful, more balanced, and more visually pleasing than the basic version.

• sour cream, 16oz

• Lipton onion soup mix, 1 packet

• ½ of a red onion, finely diced (more if you’re feeling bold, less if you’re delicate)

• everything bagel seasoning, several aggressive shakes of everything bagel seasoning. I don’t measure, and you shouldn’t either. Trust your heart.

• a bowl of some kind to combine all of the above. We just mix ours directly in the food-storage container we’ll put in the fridge later.
