Refreshing 8-ingredient salsa recipe

For this recipe, simply dice the Roma tomatoes, fresh mango and red onion about the size of one kernel of corn.
Squeeze the juice from one lemon atop the fruit and vegetables. Chop fresh cilantro, add a dash of salt and pepper, and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
If you’re looking for a salsa that’s a little spicier in flavor, finely slice 1 or 2 fresh jalapeños, and combine.

Savory 8-ingredient French onion dip. This quick French onion dip recipe requires little cooking and makes a minimal mess in the kitchen.
Begin by slicing or chopping your onion. Over medium heat on the stove, caramelize the onion in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add a dash of salt and pepper while the onions caramelize and let simmer. For faster cooking, cover with a lid, but watch to avoid burning the onion. Once golden brown, remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, combine sour cream and mayonnaise. Fold in the cooked onions. Add the garlic powder and a dash of salt and pepper.
Top with as much or as little fresh parsley and scallions as you prefer. Ideally, you’ll serve this recipe with potato chips – kettle cooked or regular.
