Homemade French Onion Dip
This homemade French Onion Dip mixes sweet caramelized onions with Greek yogurt to make a healthy dip that's a hit at any party!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 3 yellow onions, chopped
- 2 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1 tbsp liquid aminos
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp onion powder
Instructions
-
Melt butter with avocado oil in a large cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
-
Cook the onions for 5 minutes or until they start to soften, stirring so they don't crisp or brown in spots.
-
Reduce the heat to medium low, cover with a lid, and continue to cook for 30 minutes, stirring the onions every 10-15 minutes or so.
-
Add the additional 1 tsp of salt and the liquid aminos as the onions reduce and become more golden and jammy, giving off a rich nutty aroma.
-
If the onions look like they're beginning to burn or crisp, stir in a splash of water or broth and scrape the caramelized fond from the bottom of the pan for the onions to absorb. Remove from the heat and cool.
-
Mix the Greek yogurt with sour cream and onion powder in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooled onions and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 3 days before serving.
