Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 small yellow onions (600g) thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (15g) 15g
- 1 8-oz. block reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt (226g) or sour cream
- 1/4 cup light mayo (60g)
- 2 Tbsp freshly chopped chives
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
- Crinkle cut potato chips for serving
Instructions
- Set a large skillet to medium heat and add the olive oil. When shiny, add the onions and 1/2 tsp of salt. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then reduce heat to low, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and cook for 30-35 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally until onions are golden brown. If your onions start to stick to the pan, add another splash of water.
- Once onions are caramelized, transfer them to a medium sized bowl and allow them to cool completely.
- Place the cream cheese, yogurt and mayo in a separate bowl and mix until smooth (use the microwave and heat in 10 sec bursts if needed to assist). Then mix in the remaining ingredients.
- Finally, mix in the cooled caramelized onions. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to develop. Even better, let it sit overnight!
- Garnish with chopped chives and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve with crinkle cut potato chips and enjoy!
