A rustic, chunky shaggy green onion dip in a mossy stone bowl with visible onion bits, chives, and parsley sprinkled on top, sitting on a damp wooden board beside a crushed ogre-shaped onion rind and swampy mushrooms.

No reviews

A humorous, movie-themed twist on classic onion dip, inspired by Shrek’s swampy aesthetic and love of simple, hearty snacks.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes plus chilling
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives and parsley for garnish
  • Celery sticks and tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced onion and sauté until soft and golden (8–10 minutes). Let cool.
  2. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cooled onions, Parmesan, garlic powder, and dill. Stir until smooth.
  3. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  4. Serve in a bowl, garnished with chopped chives and parsley. Arrange celery sticks and chips around the edge.

Notes

  • For extra swampy texture, add a splodge of green food coloring (optional — Shrek would approve).
  • Better yet, use caramelized onions for deeper flavor.
  • Make ahead: keeps well covered in fridge for up to 3 days.
