Caramelized Onion Garlic Dip

This Caramelized Onion Garlic Dip is a rich and flavorful blend of sweet caramelized onions and roasted garlic, combined with creamy yogurt and cheese. Its luscious texture and deep flavors make it a perfect accompaniment for snacking or entertaining. Enjoy it with fresh veggies, chips, or as a spread on your favorite bread.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

  • 150 grams thinly sliced onions
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 100 grams Greek yogurt
  • 50 grams cream cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley) for garnish

Procedure:

  • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Add the minced garlic in the last 2 minutes of cooking and stir well. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, combine the caramelized onion and garlic mixture with Greek yogurt, cream cheese (if using), lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  • Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice for tanginess or more salt to enhance the flavor.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve with vegetable sticks, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Caramelized onions are packed with antioxidants and offer a natural sweetness, making them a delicious way to enhance flavor without added sugars. Garlic is known for its immune-boosting properties and potential heart health benefits.
  • Greek yogurt provides protein and probiotics, promoting gut health and enhancing overall nutrition.
  • The olive oil adds healthy fats that support cardiovascular health. This dip not only tantalizes your taste buds but also provides a nutritious option that contributes to a balanced diet, making it a perfect choice for a healthy snack or appetizer.
