French onion dip or California dip[1][2][3] is an American dip typically made with a base of sour cream and flavored with minced onion, and usually served with potato chips as chips and dip. It is also served with snack crackers and crudités.[4][5] It is not French cuisine; it is called "French" because it is made with dehydrated French onion soup mix.
