French onion dip

French onion dip is an American dip served as a party appetizer, typically eaten with potato chips or crackers, traditionally made by combining sour cream with dehydrated onion soup mix. It was created by an unknown cook in Los Angeles in 1954, and the recipe spread after it was printed in a local newspaper; the Lipton company promoted it on television in 1955 under the name Lipton California Dip and added the recipe to its instant onion soup packaging in 1958, with the name shifting to French onion dip during the 1960s. Contemporary versions sometimes use caramelized onions or a cream cheese or mayonnaise base, with garlic, chives or Worcestershire sauce added, and the dip is now considered an American classic commonly served at holiday gatherings.
