Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Having everything ready to go makes the mixing process quick and easy.
Step 2: Grate the Cheese - Using your box grater or food processor, grate 4 ounces of Jarlsberg or Swiss cheese. Freshly grated cheese melts better and enhances the flavor of the dip.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated cheese, 2 tablespoons of real mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped red onion. Use a spatula to mix everything together until well blended.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust - Give your dip a taste! If you desire a bit more zing, consider adding a pinch of salt or even a dash of pepper. Adjust the flavors to suit your palate.
Step 5: Chill (Optional) - For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! - Transfer your dip to a serving dish and enjoy it with your favorite dippers—crackers, fresh veggies, or even breadsticks work wonderfully!
