Caramelized Onion Dip

Caramelized onions infuse this dip with a rich, savory flavor that’ll have you hooked from the first bite. This dip is a crowd-pleaser, perfect with pretzels, veggies, crackers, and more. Caramelizing the onions takes some time, but it’s worth it for a deep umami flavor that turns a few simple ingredients into a delectable dip.

Servings 6

Ingredients

  

• 2 large yellow onions chopped
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• salt to taste
• black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chives chopped

Instructions

 

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once melted add the chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook until brown and jammy, about 30-40 minutes. Turn down the heat if your onions are getting too brown too quickly. I like to add 1 tbsp of water about half way through to help with the caramelization.
• Cool the caramelized onions until they are no longer steaming hot, it's okay if they are still warm.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chives. Stir in the caramelized onions and store in the fridge for about 1 hour before serving.
• Serve with chips, veggies, or pretzels!

Notes

You can cool the cooked onions in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before combining them with the rest of the ingredients.
