A delicious dip that introduces lots of crunch and flavor that makes it so easy to enjoy. A word of caution on the resting time. It was terrific right after mixing up, had it a few hours later and it was even better. By the next day, the onion was starting to come on a bit strong and a wee bit bitter, perhaps too much for most but those who just loooooove onions. So make it ahead of time but not too far ahead and don't make much more than what you are planning to use in a day or so. Thanks Carla.

I love onion dip. With this I omited the carrots as I'm not a huge fan of carrots and instead of the sour cream I used reduced cream. Thanks for a great recipe!

Thanks for a really tasty dip recipe! I made this a few days ago to serve with crudites and was not dissappointed. I left out the jalapeno peppers but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It was most delicious!
