Onion Dip

Personal taste is something that's quite…personal. Sometimes the few tweaks you make to a recipe to adjust to your own palate might appeal to another. Such is the case for this riff on Alton Brown's delicious home-made onion dip.

• 1 shallot, finely diced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 lb light sour cream (8 oz)
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp white pepper
