Skinny French Onion Dip
This dip is just what I was looking for – it tastes as delicious and indulgent as the good stuff (maybe a little more tart?), but it won’t break my diet.
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tablespoon 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 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce more to taste, if desired
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- pinch white sugar optional, to taste – use if you think dip is too tart
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
- Add diced onions and saute until well browned and caramelized (but not burnt), about 30-40 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
- Add minced garlic and saute until fragrant.
- Remove pot from heat and transfer the onions to a medium mixing bowl.
- 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)
- Add the yogurt, salt/pepper, and Worchestershire sauce to your bowl of caramelized onions, and stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Taste, and season with extra salt, pepper, Worcestershire or sugar if you think your dip needs it.
- 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).
