I have not tried this but Michael Symon said it is the best.

Clinton Kelly's Sour Cream and Onion Dip

Contributed by: Clinton Kelly

There's nothing better than a sour cream and onion dip. Give this one a try at your next party.

2 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 large Yellow Onion (cut into even 1/4-inch

thick rings)

1 clove Garlic (minced)

1 1/2 cup Sour Cream

3/4 cup Mayonnaise

Kosher Salt

Pepper

ingredients

2 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 large Yellow Onion (cut into even 1/4-

inch thick rings)

Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion,

and season with a large pinch of salt, then toss to coat in oil.

1 clove Garlic (minced) Arrange the onion into an even layer in the pan, and cook stirring

occasionally, but retaining an even layer. Cook until the onions

caramelize, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the

garlic.

1 1/2 cup Sour Cream

3/4 cup Mayonnaise

Kosher Salt

Pepper

Combine remaining ingredients in a food processor. Add the

onions, garlic, and season with black pepper. Pulse until

thoroughly combined, then transfer to the refrigerator. Serve chilled.

Today's email from The Pioneer Woman had her Veggie Cream Cheese Spread recipe which is a little bit thicker than a ""dip"" but you could thin it out with a little yogurt or sour cream or mayo. It looked really delicious and healthy as it had a bunch of veggies in it. I plan to make some to use as a dip.

1 bunch chopped cilantro
2 avocados, diced

Directions

Mix all ingredients together. Top with Avocado just before serving.

Black Bean Mango Salsa
3 - 4 Mangos - peeled, seeded, and diced
1 - (15 oz) can Bush's black beans, drained and rinsed
1 - (10 oz) can white shoe-peg corn, drained or 10 oz frozen yellow corn, thawed
2 - Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 - Tablespoon red onion, diced
1 - lime, juiced
salt and pepper to taste

Stir the diced mango, black beans, corn, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with tortilla or pita chips for dipping or alongside grilled chicken, steak or fish.

Everyone loves this when I serve it. Red Pepper Jelly, Cream Cheese and Crackers. So simple too. A bowl of red pepper jelly or hot pepper jelly, a bowl of cream cheese, and a platter of crackers. Put a spreader in each bowl and set the bowls on a platter with the crackers. They disappear fast.

Pup cakes, I found a cheesy corn dip on Jill Bauers blog, the video with Laura Gellar and I tried it last weekend for a get together and it was great!!!! It's very simple so look on her YHJ blog. The only thing I will do different next time is use less corn and I may try to add some hot sauce to spice it up a little. Have a great 4th!!!

Edamole: A Mexican Edamame Dip

This easy Mexican dip is a great alternative to Guacamole for anyone watching their weight or for those who don't like avocadoes.

Ingredients

water

12 ounces of shelled frozen edamame beans

½ cup cilantro (leaf coriander) leaves

¼ cup lime juice

¼ cup chopped onion

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp minced jalapeno pepper (optional)

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground cumin

¼ tsp ground coriander seed

a pinch of sugar

1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Bring two cups of water to a boil. Plop in the beans. Bring the pot back up to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Turn off heat and cover the pot. Let it sit until the beans are soft, 7-9 minutes.

Drain the beans.

2. Put all of the remaining ingredients except for the olive oil into a blender. Add ¼ cup of water. Blend until very smooth. Add the olive oil and blend until it is well-combined.

This is always popular no matter where I take it.I get my pepper jelly at trader joes. The thing I do differently is put softened cream cheese block into a dish and pour pepper jelly over it. I also like the pepper jelly with grilled meat.

Hi terrier & Ladies,

While I've not made this one, I do make a caramelized onion dip (I think I got it out of a book called Skinny Dips) and it is FANTASTIC! I am not even an onion dip girl, but it's so fresh and delicious.

Hi pupcakes - I've been making this for years, super simple and people STILL love it.

Hot Taco dip

8 oz block of cream cheese

1 jar Salsa (I use thick and chunky - medium)

8 oz block of pepper jack cheese shredded (or if you can find it pre-shredded, easier yet)

Black olives (optional)

Layer cream cheese, salsa, cheese then olives, cover with plastic wrap, microwave for 5 minutes, and serve with tortilla chips. Careful removing the plastic wrap, it gets really hot! I use a quiche dish, fits perfectly. Enjoy!
