This two-ingredient, traditional Lipton Onion Dip is delicious! In this recipe, I added two extra ingredients to level up its nostalgic taste.
This post is all about how to make Classic Lipton Onion Dip (with an upgraded twist!)
Who hasn’t been to a party or family gathering where a traditional Lipton onion dip wasn’t served?! The key here is to take this basic dip recipe (that’s already insanely delicious) and upgrade its flavor by adding two more ingredients.
The two staple components of this dip are, of course, a packet of Lipton onion soup mix and sour cream. So drumroll… adding fresh herbs like chives adds brightness, while whipped cream cheese adds richness.
Mix everything thoroughly, and allow it to marinate and chill in the fridge for at least one hour before serving with potato chips, crackers, carrot chips, or veggie sticks. FYI, it pretty much tastes AMAZING with almost anything!

How To Make This (Upgraded!) Lipton Onion Dip Recipe, Step-By-Step

Step 2: Add the Lipton onion soup mix packet to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Chop the fresh chives and garnish the top of the dip. I was very generous here, but they’re so freshly delicious with a subtle onion flavor!
