Ingredients
  

  • 3 large yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full fat for the creamiest dip
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar apple cider or white wine vinegar
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Thinly slice the onions into half moons.
    3 large yellow onions
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring every few minutes, for 35 to 40 minutes until deep golden brown and jammy. If they start to stick, add a splash of water and scrape up the brown bits.
    1 tablespoon olive oil
  3. Stir in the onion powder and garlic powder and cook for 1 more minute. Let the onions cool completely, then roughly chop.
    1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  4. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and vinegar. Fold in the caramelized onions.
    1 cup plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons vinegar, salt, black pepper
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill for 30 minutes if you have time, then serve.

Notes

  • Don’t rush the onions. High heat burns them before they caramelize. Keep it at medium-low for 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Make it ahead. The dip tastes even better the next day.
  • Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before serving.
