FAQ's 

Tips

• For a low-carb appetizer, serve this dip with vegetables such as cut down and sliced large carrots or baby carrots, sliced cucumber, or even crispy Romaine lettuce leaves.
• When storing leftover dip in the refrigerator, make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap otherwise it could absorb odors from other strong smelling foods in the fridge. 
• Have leftover dip but not enough to enjoy as a dipping appetizer? Small amounts of leftover dip can easily be used as sandwich fillers, as pasta sauce, as a topping to baked potato, or as a pizza sauce base.

Variations

• Some green onion dips call for sour cream. You could use sour cream in place of the Greek yogurt or cream cheese. That would be a much more rich sauce.
• While sriracha sauce offers a mild heat to this dip, if you’d enjoy an extra kick of heat then consider adding in some cayenne pepper.
• Sliced fresh chives or caramelized onions mixed into the dip adds delicious onion flavor!
• Instead of a green onion dip, consider combining red, yellow, and green onions with shallots for an all-inclusive onion dip! Wouldn't that be pretty for a holiday dip?!!
• Stir in a tablespoon of French onion soup for even more delicious

Storage

Refrigerator: This can be made up to two days in advance. It keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days.

I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
