AMAZING LOW FAT Caramelized Onion Dip

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions (about 1 1/2 pounds), finely chopped
3/4 cup sour cream (low-fat is fine if you like)
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (low-fat is fine if you like)
3 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large thick-bottomed skillet over medium heat saute the chopped onions in the olive oil along with a couple pinches of salt. Stir occasionally with a wood or metal spatula and cook until the onions are deeply golden, brown, and caramelized - roughly 40 or 50 minutes (see photo). Set aside and let cool.
In the meantime, whisk together the sour cream, yogurt, onion powder, and salt. The important thing is to add whatever onion powder you are using to taste. Add a bit at a time until it tastes really good. Set aside until the caramelized onions have cooled to room temperature. Stir in 2/3 of the caramelized onions, scoop into a serving bowl, and top with the remaining onions. I think this dip is best at room temperature.
Makes about 2 cups.


this tastes EXACTLY...no EVEN BETTER than any dip you buy, or package you rip open and add to sour cream...its so fresh, and the flavors are so intense and just super good!! Make it the night before you are going to use it to really up the flavors...gives them time to really marry! 101cookboooks.com

I've made this dip with red onions and it was great! I used light mayo instead of greek yogurt and added cayenne and red pepper flakes for some kick. I like the greek yogurt idea but let's be honest... no way you can call a recipe with greek yogurt "lowfat!"
