Ingredients

Scale

Onion Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups onions, thinly sliced (about 2 medium onions)
  • ½ tablespoon garlic, minced

Dip Base

  • 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 slowly for 15-20 minutes until the onions become soft, caramelized, and browned, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Cool and Chop: Remove the pan from heat and allow the onions to cool for 5-10 minutes. Once cool, finely chop the caramelized onions with a knife to ensure an even texture in the dip.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the cooled, chopped onions with the non-fat Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with chips or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy as a healthy and delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Use low heat to slowly caramelize onions and avoid burning for best flavor.
  • For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust salt and spices to taste based on preference.
  • Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies; omit or substitute for a vegetarian/vegan diet.
