Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups onions, sliced thinly (about 2 medium onions)
  • ½ tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook slowly for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become caramelized and browned, developing a sweet and rich flavor.
  2. Cool and Chop: Remove the onions from heat and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. Once cooled, finely chop the caramelized onions using a knife to ensure even texture in the dip.
  3. Mix the Dip: In a large bowl, combine the cooled, chopped onions with the non-fat Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the dip is smooth.
  4. Serve: Transfer the onion dip to a serving bowl and enjoy it with your choice of chips or fresh vegetables for a delicious and healthy snack.

Notes

  • For best results, cook onions slowly on low heat to fully develop sweetness and avoid burning.
  • Non-fat Greek yogurt provides creaminess with added protein and fewer calories than sour cream.
  • Worcestershire sauce adds a savory umami depth; you can substitute with soy sauce if desired.
  • This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days to allow flavors to meld.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature for optimal taste.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
