Skinny French Onion Dip
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Appetizer
Ingredients
  • 1 to 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 2 medium onions (I used yellow), peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup plain low-fat or fat-free Greek yogurt (I use Chobani)
  • 1 tsp Worchestershire sauce (more to taste, if desired)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • pinch of white sugar (optional, to taste - use if you think dip is too tart)
Directions
  1. Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add diced onions and saute until well browned and caramelized (but not burnt), about 30-40 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and saute until fragrant.
  4. Remove pot from heat and transfer the onions to a medium mixing bowl.
  5. Stick the bowl of caramelized onions in the fridge for about 15 minutes, or until they reach room temperature. (Optional: At this point, set aside ¼ cup caramelized onions to use them as a topping for your dip, if desired)
  6. Add the yogurt, salt/pepper, and Worchestershire sauce to your bowl of caramelized onions, and stir until everything is evenly combined.
  7. Taste, and season with extra salt, pepper, Worcestershire or sugar if you think your dip needs it.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with the reserved caramelized onions.
Notes
This can be made ahead of time - just store it in an airtight container and refrigerate (no more than 3-4 days).
