No Name Dip – The Ultimate 4-Ingredient Party Dip 🎉🥣
This cult-favorite dip is ridiculously easy, endlessly addictive, and disappears fast at any gathering. No fancy name needed—it speaks for itself.
🧾 Ingredients (Just 4!)
-
1 cup mayonnaise (full-fat for best flavor)
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp preferred)
-
1 small onion, finely minced
-
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
That’s it. No salt needed—cheddar does the work.
👩🍳 How to Make It
-
Finely mince the onion (smaller = better texture).
-
In a bowl, mix mayo and cheddar until well combined.
-
Fold in the onion.
-
Add plenty of black pepper.
-
Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
🧠 Why It Works
-
Mayo = creamy base
-
Sharp cheddar = bold flavor
-
Raw onion = bite + freshness
-
Black pepper = subtle heat
The balance is simple but perfect.
🔥 Pro Tips
-
Use sweet onion for a milder dip
-
For extra smoothness, grate cheese finely
-
Let it rest overnight for deeper flavor
-
Stir once before serving
🧂 Optional (Still “No Name” Approved)
If you must tweak:
-
A dash of garlic powder
-
A pinch of smoked paprika
-
A splash of lemon juice
But purists say: don’t touch it.
