  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dip 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 soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic, cooking slowly for 15-20 minutes until the onions are soft, browned, and caramelized, 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, chop the onions finely with a knife to ensure a smooth dip texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled caramelized onions, non-fat Greek yogurt, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Serve: Transfer the onion dip to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for a healthy snack option.

Notes

  • Cooking the onions slowly over low heat is crucial to achieve the best caramelization without burning.
  • You can adjust the garlic quantity to your taste preference.
  • For a thicker dip, strain excess liquid from the yogurt before mixing.
  • This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce to maintain gluten-free status if required.
