For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

  • 150 grams thinly sliced onions
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 100 grams Greek yogurt

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.
