Recipe
Use this Low Sodium French Onion Dip that is a welcome addition where a dipping condiment is needed. I grew up with this dip when my mom made this with the Lipton onion soup packets to go with a snack of chips or cut vegetables. I think I have achieved nearly the same taste or at the very least better than any pre-made store brand.

With the average pre-made store brand reaching nearly 200 mg and the homemade with Lipton soup packets version at 300 mg per 2 tablespoon serving, changes had to be made. If you’re brand new to the low sodium life you will notice a difference but after my fourth try I think I’ve found a good ratio to make a flavorful copycat rendition. I hardly notice the difference anymore of a lower sodium items but my taste test neighbor said it was nearly spot on.
THE SECRET LOW SODIUM INGREDIENT
A major taste component of the mix is the Herb Ox sodium free beef bouillon. It is definitely the ingredient that makes it get even close to the dip made with Lipton onion soup packets. My local stores do not carry it and it is one of the few ingredients that I order online to have on hand. Herb Ox also makes a chicken bouillon version and between the two they have so many delicious uses. Check out Herb Ox sodium free beef bouillon here on Amazon.
Made with dehydrated chopped onions and dried parsley this recipe can be simply whipped up literally in a few minutes! Though it can be used immediately the taste will definitely be enhanced letting it set in the fridge for an hour or two or even better overnight.
So give it a try and a tasteyou can always adjust the seasonings a bit if necessary to your taste.
Use it with low-no saltchips, fresh cut vegetables, baked potatoes, roasted vegetables. Add a littleWasabi powder for a little extra nose tingling kick!
