For a lighter version, substitute some of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. If you're sensitive to MSG, you can omit it or use a reduced amount. Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor. For a bolder flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. To make ahead, the dip can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Finely chopping the onion and dried beef ensures a smoother texture and prevents large chunks in the dip.
