Ingredients
For the caramelized onions:
- 1 large yellow onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
For the dip:
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s for this dip)
- 1/2 tsp vegetarian worcestershire sauce (adds depth of flavor)
- 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup strained greek yogurt (plain, full-fat preferred)
- 3/4 cup creamy cottage cheese (like Daisy brand for best texture)
Step 1: Caramelize the Onions
In a large skillet, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Swirl the butter around the pan to coat it evenly.
Add very thinly sliced onions to the skillet and stir them into the butter until they’re coated.
Sprinkle with salt and sugar, distributing evenly.
Keep the heat at medium and cook for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, check the pan to ensure it’s not too dry; if needed, add a splash of water to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat slightly to medium-low and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes until the onions turn a deep brown color.
Let the onions cool slightly, then transfer them to a cutting board.
Finely chop the onions and set them aside.
The onions can be prepared a day in advance.
Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese
Blend the cottage cheese in a blender, food processor, or using an immersion blender until smooth.
Step 3: Mix the Dip Ingredients
To the blended cottage cheese, add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Continue to blend until smooth.
Step 4: Combine and Chill
Stir the caramelized onions into the cottage cheese mixture.
Cover the bowl and transfer it to the fridge.
Allow the dip to chill for about 30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
