Tips & Variations
- For a richer dip, use full-fat Greek yogurt and mayonnaise; for a lighter version, olive oil is a great substitute for mayo.

- If you prefer a stronger onion flavor, increase the amount of minced dried onions gradually.
- Worcestershire sauce is optional but adds a subtle depth; omit for a vegetarian version or due to personal taste.

FAQs
Can I use fresh onions instead of dried onions?
Fresh onions can be used, but they should be finely chopped and cooked gently to soften their sharpness before adding to the dip. Dried onions give the classic flavor and convenience without the strong pungency.
Is this dip suitable for a low-fat diet?
Yes, using non-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt and substituting olive oil for mayonnaise helps keep the dip lower in fat while still maintaining creamy texture and flavor.
