French Onion Dip

This French Onion Dip is a great appetizer for the upcoming holiday and summer parties. I served it with cucumbers, carrots, celery, and grape tomatoes. This creamy dip filled with caramelized onions would also pair well with crackers or even as a spread for bread (I enjoyed it on bagels).

I used an immersion blender to smooth out the ingredients, but this step can be skipped if you want a chunkier dip and chop the onions fine enough. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight and let sit at room temperature about 20-30 minutes before serving.
