A friend of mine posted this dip recipe on Facebook and said it was “Delicious!” So, I put it on my to-do list, and at a recent dinner party I busted out this recipe. It only takes a little extra effort than the store-bought version, and it’s so much better.

It all starts with a pan full of onions

Cook ‘em low and slow until they turn golden brown and delicious

Throw it in a food processor with a few other ingredients and blend to the desired consistency. It couldn’t get any easier or more delicious.

Caramelized Onion Dip
Adapted from A Dash of Sass

2 large yellow onions
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 ounces light cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2/3 cup reduced fat sour cream
2/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste

- Quarter the onion and cut into strips
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Combine butter and olive oil in pan.
- Add the onions, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne. Saute for about 10 minutes, until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue sauteing for another 30 minutes, stiring frequently, until the onions are browned and caramelized.
- Add balsamic vinegar to the pan. Cook an additional 2 minutes
- Remove onions from pan and let cool.
- Place cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce into a food processor. Process until well-combined.
- Add the onions. Process to desired consistency (I left mine a little chunky, but you can definitely go until it’s smooth)
-Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
- Serve at room temperature with chips (or a spoon!).

This dip is even better the second or third day.
