    We love this dip as a game day appetizer. It’s a regular dish on our super bowl party menu.

    Ingredients

    Here’s what you need to make this onion dip recipe.

    Dip ingredients

    • Green onions (scallions)
    • Jalapeño (pith and seeds removed, unless you want this dip spicy)
    • Olive oil
    • Garlic powder
    • Cilantro
    • Greek yogurt (plain, whole milk)*
    • Salt

    *see FAQ for tips on substituting sour cream or cream cheese.

    How to make green onion dip

    Now I’ll walk you through it…

    Infographic with step by step recipe instructions on how to make Green Onion Dip Appetizer
    The total time to make this green onion dip is about 15-20 minutes.
    1. Prep the green onions and jalapeño.
      Trim off roots and wilted green edges from the green onions. Brush vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. 
    2. Pan grill or sear onions and jalapeños.
      Turn a grill pan or large cast iron pan to medium-high. Add green onions and jalapeño. Sear / grill a few minutes on each side (turning regularly) until lightly browned, before they’re charred – about 3-5 minutes each side. Remove from heat. When cool enough to touch, rough chop vegetables into 2-3” chunks so they’re easier to blend. 
    3. Blend Greek yogurt dip ingredients together.
      To a blender, add grilled green onions and jalapeno, cilantro, ½ cup Greek yogurt, and salt. Pulse until combined. Mix in remaining Greek yogurt with a spoon (this helps it keep a thicker consistency than blending all the yogurt at once). Serve with vegetables, bread, crackers, etc.

    FAQs

    Can I use cream cheese or sour cream as an onion dip base?

    Yes, you can use cream cheese and sour cream interchangeably for the Greek yogurt in this dip. I personally wouldn’t use cream cheese, because it is a much thicker consistency. I’m more likely to use sour cream to make a dip that’s tangy in it’s own unique way. 

    Do you need a food processor to make dip?

    No, I just use a small blender, like the Nutribullet. You can also use an immersion blender.

    What goes with green onion dip?

    With potato chips, crackers, crusty pan grilled bread, or with raw vegetables. 

    What do you do with leftover onion dip?

    We use it as a salad dressing for something like this kale apple salad. Or we’ll use this appetizer recipe as a sauce the next day, smothered on pan grilled chicken or this tri tip recipe. We’ve even used it as a sauce on this chicken taco pizza.

    Meat thermometer recommendations

    Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly. 

    On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:

    1. Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
    2. ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill. 

    It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature. 

    How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.

    While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

    Are you a foodie, too?

    Hey home chefs, hope that answers all your questions about how to make this sour cream scallion dip. Don’t forget to try it as a sauce on smoked chicken or sous vide ribeye steak the next day. It’s so good.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    Instagram me @sipbitego & chef hubs @handmodelpatrick

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
