Simple Saturday: Lighter Dip

onion dip

I love dips.

In fact, my coworkers and I all love dip so much that we once hosted a “Dip Day” potluck…and it was amazing.

Put it on a chip, put it on a carrot, put it on some bread. Dips are so versatile and delicious!

I made this dip recently that is a play on the classic french onion dip where you caramelize your own onions and combine them with yogurt, a little mayo, Worcestershire sauce and some seasonings.

It’s creamy but still has a lightness about it.

This would be a perfect Super Bowl dip to impress your friends and not weigh them down.

Here’s how you make it:

-Caramelize a few onions in oil (or bacon fat if you have it) with salt on low heat for about 30 minutes. Then, add in a pressed clove of garlic and cook for a bit.

-In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of yogurt (plain or Greek), about 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, a few tbs. of Worcestershire sauce with a few shakes of fresh ground black pepper and celery salt.

-After the onions have cooled, mix everything together and adjust the seasonings.

Enjoy this dip with chips, carrots, peppers or basically anything you’d like!g
