Caramelized Onion Dip

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: neufchâtel cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Neufchâtel is lower in fat, while ricotta provides a similar texture.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: avocado

💰Cheaper: Greek yogurt

Avocado adds creaminess with healthy fats.

Melt butter in a large skillet over low to medium low heat.

Add onions and brown sugar, and cook, stirring often, until deep golden brown, about 45-55 minutes.

Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet; remove from heat.

Stir in vinegar and Worcestershire.

Let cool completely, setting aside 2 tablespoons caramelized onions for garnishing, if desired.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise.

Stir in caramelized onions; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve, garnished with reserved caramelized onions and chives, if desired, or cover and chill for up to 3 days.
