Stir to combine all ingredients, until smooth and creamy.
Serve the dip immediately and garnish with fresh herbs, liked chopped parsley, diced green onions or chopped chives.
Notes
The dip will stay good in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
I do not recommend freezing the dip, as sour cream does not freeze well. The dairy will separate when frozen and the texture will not be the same once the dip is defrosted.
If making the caramelized onions specifically for this dip, you’ll need 1 cup of onions. One pound of onions caramelized down will equal 1 cup of onions. Dice the onions uniformly so that they’ll cook evenly. Add 1 tablespoon butter to a cast iron skillet and saute the onions over medium heat for 30 minutes, or until they’re a deep golden brown color. Refer to this post for how to caramelize onions for much more in depth info and step-by-step photos of the process.
If using prepared slices of caramelized onions, be sure to dice the caramelized onions before adding them to the dip.

The cream cheese should be softened before mixing it into the dip. To do this, either let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or microwave the cream cheese for 20-30 seconds.
