After trying the Trader Joe’s Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip
I decided to pick up the Trader Joe’s
Caramelized Onion Dip to give a whirl. Just by looks it looked like one of
my favorite dips that can be made with Lipton onion soup mix … but the caramelized
onion made it seem that more enticing.
One day I decided to pull this out of the fridge because I
was in the mood for a snack. Opening the container it definitely resembles my
beloved favorite ‘homemade’ dip although I could see small pieces of
caramelized onion throughout it. I took
out two tablespoons and took a bite with one of my chips … and my face puckered.
I was overwhelmed with an overpowering salt flavor. At first I thought perhaps
it could’ve been the chips … so I ended up dipping a raw carrot into it and found
that overwhelming salty flavor was still there. I’m not a big salt fan, I only use it very
sparingly in cooking to boost flavoring in cooking. This was just so jam packed with salt that I
couldn’t even offer it to guests because I would have felt bad. Needless to say the container ended up
finding a permanent home in the circular file (i.e. the trash). I’ll definitely
stick to the bacon cheddar ranch dip because that is flavorful and not salty.
A serving is 2 tablespoons which is 70 calories or 2 points
plus values.
QUESTION:
Have you tried any of the dip selections available at Trader
Joe’s?
