Who needs packaged soup mix when you can make onion dip at home so easily. This is addictive. It was great for movie night. I would like to try this dip with a lot less mayo, because that's how I am used to it. Made for VegNSwap 14.

A really tasty dip,packed full of flavour,that's also very simple to make. It went down very well with a cold bottle of wine last night...thank you Sharon!

Gosh this was tasty. I used celery seeds that I smashed ( I have to limit my salt ) I pulsed everything for a few seconds in the FP. I also used Miracle whip instead of mayo ( family preference) We loved it. This is so not the dip made with that soup mix it is 10 times BETTER. : ) Made for Newest Zaar Tag
