Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups onions, sliced thinly (about 2 onions)
  • ½ tablespoon garlic, minced

Cooking Fats

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Dairy & Condiments

  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Spices & Seasonings

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions and Garlic: In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are browned and caramelized, developing their natural sweetness.
  2. Cool and Chop: Remove the caramelized onions from heat and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. Once cool, chop the onions finely using a knife to create a smooth texture ideal for the dip.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped caramelized onions, non-fat Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve chilled or at room temperature with your choice of chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

  • Cooking onions slowly over low heat is key to achieving a rich caramelized flavor without burning.
  • Using non-fat Greek yogurt keeps the dip creamy and healthy, reducing fat and calories compared to sour cream dips.
  • Worcestershire sauce adds a subtle umami depth to the dip; it can be omitted for a vegetarian version.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dip is a great protein-rich snack option thanks to the Greek yogurt.
