Description
This tasty cottage cheese chip dip is a healthier version of your favorite creamy onion dip!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
To caramelize the onions:
-
Add one tablespoon of butter to a large skillet and turn the heat to medium. Allow the butter to melt and swirl it around the pan.
-
Add the very thinly sliced onions and stir them into the butter so they’re evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and sugar and stir until distributed.
-
Keep the heat at medium and cook for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, ensure the pan isn’t too dry. (If the pan looks dry or the onions look like they may stick to the pan, add a splash of water.)
-
Turn the heat down slightly to medium-low and continue to cook for 10-15 minutes, until the onions are a deep brown color.
-
Let the onions cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board. Finely chop the onions, then set them aside. The onions can be prepared a day in advance.
To prepare the dip:
-
Blend the cottage cheese in a blender, food processor, or using an immersion blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Continue to blend until smooth.
- Stir in the caramelized onions.
-
Cover and transfer the bowl to the fridge. Allow the dip to chill for about 30 minutes. This dip can be prepared up to 2 days in advance.
