Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
2 medium yellow onions (finely chopped)
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, warm two tablespoons of olive oil. Add the finely chopped onions and cook for about 20 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown. Stir occasionally and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Fold in the cooled caramelized onions gently to preserve their texture.
Cover the dip tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, incorporate fresh herbs like thyme or parsley.
Consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
Experiment with dippers—try fresh vegetables or toasted baguette slices for variety.
