Some snacks just belong on the table when the game’s on, and French onion dip is one of them. But the store-bought tubs are often more salt and oil than substance. A recent TikTok shortcut fixes that with two familiar ingredients you can find in almost any grocery store. It’s creamy, savory, and full of flavor—no fancy prep or long ingredient list required.
The trick is mixing Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup & Dip Mix with Chobani Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt. That’s it. The yogurt adds tang and body, while the soup mix brings the same nostalgic onion flavor people expect from the classic version. Together, they hit that comfort-food note without the heaviness of sour cream or mayo.

The Easiest Dip You’ll Make All Season
This combo works because both ingredients pull their weight. The Lipton mix already has toasted onion, garlic, and a touch of beefy depth, so it carries the flavor. The Greek yogurt thickens everything and gives it that cool, velvety texture you want in a dip. Once stirred together, it’s ready to eat—no resting or blending needed.
The flavor is rich and oniony, with a clean tang at the end that keeps you coming back. Depending on your yogurt, you’re also looking at around 10 grams of protein per serving, so it feels a little more balanced than most football-day spreads.
Scoop it up with potato chips, pita crisps, or cut vegetables—whatever’s in the pantry. It fits in anywhere: pre-game snack, quick side, or even a sandwich spread when the leftovers end up in the fridge.

Fans Say This is “The Best Snack”
In the TikTok comments, people shared what happened when they tried it. One person wrote, “It tastes like! But I like my onion dips to be REAAALLL oniony, so I tend to pour a lot more in.” Another said, “I’m reporting back to say this was FIRE!!!!!”
Others started sharing their own spins. One commenter says they thin it with a splash of milk, another adds buffalo sauce and shredded chicken, and someone else said they’re pairing it with zucchini chips. One comment gave us a handy tip for deeper flavor: “Let it sit overnight and it tastes so much better.”
How to Dial Up the Flavor
If you like a fuller flavor, fold in a spoonful of light sour cream or cream cheese for extra richness. A handful of chopped chives or parsley adds freshness, while a pinch of smoked paprika gives it a little edge. For something closer to a steakhouse dip, stir in a few caramelized onions or a drizzle of olive oil.
Once you start riffing, it becomes less of a recipe and more of a template. Swap the onion mix for ranch seasoning, roasted garlic, or whatever packet’s hiding in your pantry. Serve it chilled, pair it with wings or sliders, and you’ve got a dip that feels homemade but takes less than a minute to make.
