Recently at a Sunday coffee hour my girls had some veggie straw and a dip. They insisted that I try it because it was so good. I asked them if it was french onion dip and of course they responded with "I don't know.". So I tried it and confirmed it was french onion dip. My girls then asked if I could make some and buy some veggie straws to go with it.
Of course I was more than willing to make a homemade version, but I really wanted it to be without the packaged french onion mix. So after a bit of looking I found one and tried it out. Initially I did not add salt to the dip, but when I tried it, it was just not the same. So I added a bit of salt and it amazed me at how much better it tasted, it tasted just like store bought.
I hear it all the time how a little bit of salt brings the dish together, but with cooking low sodium foods I never add extra salt. So trying the dip before adding salt and after adding salt I really noticed the difference.
