Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups onions, thinly sliced (about 2 medium onions)
  • ½ tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic, cooking gently for 15-20 minutes until the onions become soft, caramelized, and golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Cool and Chop: Remove the pan from heat and allow the caramelized onions to cool for 5-10 minutes. Once cooled, finely chop the onions using a knife to create a consistent texture for the dip.
  3. Mix the Dip: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled caramelized onions with the non-fat Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Serve: Transfer the onion dip to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use low heat to caramelize onions slowly for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • The Worcestershire sauce adds umami flavor; ensure it fits your dietary preferences or substitute with soy sauce if needed.
  • Non-fat Greek yogurt can be replaced with regular Greek yogurt for a creamier dip if desired.
  • This dip pairs well with sliced veggies such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers for a healthy snack.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days to maintain freshness.
