Jalapeno Onion Dip

    In the summer I like keeping cut up veggies and pretzels around for snacks.  They are a healthy snack and are delicious paired with different dips.  I typically just make a package of Ranch dip or Onion dip but after a while that gets boring.  I wanted something with a kick and found that in this jalapeno onion dip.

     The original recipe called for a lot of mayonnaise and a packet of ranch seasoning but I didn't want all the fat from the mayo so I switched it to low fat sour cream.  I also didn't have a packet of ranch seasoning so I substituted a packet of onion soup mix.  When I initially tried the dip it was just ok.  It mostly had the flavor of onion dip.  After putting it back in the refrigerator overnight I could really taste the jalapenos and the heat was there.  It was spicy but still cool and was great with veggies, pretzels, and tortilla chips.
