I grill thick slices of onions all the time but usually just eat them plain or dipped in organic ketchup alongside whatever meat we’re grilling – sort of like a healthier version of onion rings, if that makes sense. They’re so good, but I never thought to put them in a dip – and I LOVE dip. I’m half afraid to try this recipe – and am not sure if I should kiss you or curse you. ; )

I love onion dip, and charred onions sound like a great improvement. Thanks for sharing! Oh and I forgot to mention, I asked my sister about Grizzly Bear, and she loves them. Her and her friends went and saw them the night after you posted about them!

Ooo, I like the idea of using beet slices for dipping.

I have tried a similar recipe of Ina Gartens that was delish, but I am definitely going to try yours for the 4th of July. Looks yummy and I love good potatoe chips. If you can find a brand called Dirtys…buy bags of them! They taste like REAL potatoes! And they are low in sodium. I live in Chicago too, so you should be able to find them in specialty food stores in the city.

Yes, I tend to post about desserts and side dishes as well. I think it’s because we eat our large meal at night and the lighting is horrible. Also, with seven hungry people just chomping at the bit to dig in, it’d be hard to convince them to wait while photograph the dish.

This dip sounds (and looks) wonderful. I never thought of grilling onions. I may have to convince Dad to through a few on the grill next time we have burgers.

Crackers definitely…or even crusty baguette. This would be great on anything.

No no no. I cannot have this in my house, especially if there are chips around. Nope.

Ooh, I love the flavor of grilled and charred onions. We’ve been grilling scallions lately. I’ll definitely give this one a try.

I’m with you – bring on the good stuff. Why can’t snacks and desserts make a meal? : )
I made the baked french fries from your recipe stash again last night. They are by far my favorite go-to recipe for fries now. Thanks for all these great ideas.

Oooh, this looks really tasty! I don’t have any ‘go to’ dip recipes unless you count guacamole, so we’ll try this one out!

Sides, snacks and desserts… all good for sharing. I love someone is willing to share a dish or two :)
