Caramelized Onion Dip

Think of this as a grown-up version of French Onion Dip using lots of deeply caramelized onions along with a Greek yogurt and sour cream base. You can also add a few tablespoon of mayonaisse to deeped the flavor. Serve with Sweet Potato Chips or toasted pita chips

Caramelized Onion Dip

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions, about 1 1/2 pounds, finely chopped
3/4 cup sour cream (low-fat is fine)
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (low-fat is fine)
3 teaspoons dehydrated onion powder or crushed dehydrated onion flakes added to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a large thick-bottomed skillet over medium heat saute the chopped onions in the olive oil along with a couple pinches of salt. Stir occasionally with a wood spatula and cook until the onions are deeply golden, brown, and caramelized, roughly 40 or 50 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, yogurt, onion powder and salt. The important thing is to add whatever onion powder you are using to taste. Add a bit at a time until it tastes really good. Set aside until the caramelized onions have cooled to room temperature. Stir in 2/3 of the caramelized onions, scoop into a serving bowl and top with the remaining onions.
Serve at room temperature.
