Springtime means lots of things – rain, flowers, warmer temperatures. But most of all, fresh Michigan produce! And one of the first crops to pop up are onions.

Spring onions, leeks, and ramps are all beautiful vegetables that signal that spring has sprung. If you find yourself having a few too many on hand, make some onion dip! Any combination and variety of onions will work, even if it’s not springtime – all colors of onions, shallots, leeks, spring onions, ramps, etc.

The most important part of the recipe is the slow caramelization. Trim the tender green parts of the ramps and scallions and add those in towards the end of the cooking time, to not burn them to a crisp. 

Some new yogurts from Bellwether Farms have been added to the case. Pick up a tub and try some in this dip.  

Our favorite Salt & Vinegar Sal de Ibiza chips make a great dipper for this dip. But don’t limit yourself to just chips. This dip can be spread on pizza dough for an oniony flatbread, or used as a spread on sandwiches.
