Caramelized Onion Dip

6 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon olive oil, to thinly coat the bottom of the pan
1 medium red onion, sliced
½ cup low-fat or no-fat sour cream
½ cup 2% Greek yogurt
4 ounces fresh goat cheese
¼ cup chives or other herb, chopped

METHOD

1. Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add onion, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are caramelized and brown, about 20 minutes. At this point, pour in some water to coat the bottom of the pan and cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Combine sour cream, yogurt, fresh goat cheese and chives in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment, add onion mixture, and pulse until combined, about 10 pulses. Taste, add salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired, then pulse a few more times to mix in seasoning. Note: If you like your dip chunky, you can skip the food processor and stir to combine.

3. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Serve with rice seeded crackers or sliced vegetables.
