Wildtree's Answer to Lipton Onion Soup Mix

One of my favorite go-to ingredients for easy recipes and many crockpot meals used to be Lipton Onion Soup Mix. It not only makes the most sinful dip, it's an amazing base for numerous recipes! I banned it from my kitchen years ago as it contains MSG (in several forms), trans fat, lots of preservatives and high sodium. Luckily, Wildtree has a delicious alternative...Absolutely Onion Blend. You can use it for dip, but I prefer to use it for cooking. See below for some recipes!

Onion Dip

Serves 16

1/3 cup Wildtree Absolutely Onion Blend

1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

In a small bowl, combine onion dip and sour cream, and mix until blended. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Serve with vegetables, pretzels, and chips.

4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets

2 tablespoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil

Preheat oil in medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Pour Caesar Dressing mix onto a large plate. Coat each chicken cutlet evenly on all sides with the Caesar Dressing mix. Set aside chicken cutlets on a plate. Place chicken in hot pan. Sauté until golden brown on each side, about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reaches 165F. Serve immediately.
