Instructions

1
Using a box grater, grate one large yellow onion and one shallot. Grating ensures the pieces are very fine and will incorporate well into the dip.
2
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add the grated onion and shallot.
3
Season the onions with salt and pepper, then add crushed garlic and Worcestershire sauce.
4
Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and steadily increasing the heat to medium, until the onions are deeply caramelized and browned. Set aside to cool.
5
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and low-fat Greek yogurt.
6
Add soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl.
7
Whisk the dip base until it is smooth and creamy.
8
Add the cooled caramelized onions to the dip base and mix until everything is well combined.
9
Serve with your favorite chips, pretzels, or vegetables.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cook onions and shallots over medium-low heat and stir every 2–3 minutes to ensure even caramelization and prevent scorching.
Taste and adjust seasoning after folding in the cream base—the dip may need more salt or Worcestershire sauce depending on the sweetness of your onions.
Crush garlic cloves by hand rather than mincing to keep pieces slightly larger; they'll distribute more evenly and soften into the cream.
Use Greek yogurt instead of all sour cream to reduce fat and add tang without sacrificing creaminess.
