Follow The Directions

01

Step
30 mins

Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens but does not brown. This gentle caramelization process should take approximately 20-30 minutes.

02

Step
10 mins

Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the onions. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the onions. Continue cooking and stirring frequently until the onions achieve a deep, rich brown color and are very tender, about 8-10 minutes more. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely to room temperature.

03

Step
5 mins

In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.

04

Step
2 mins

Once the caramelized onions have cooled, finely mince them on a cutting board. Stir the minced onions into the sour cream mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

05

Step
5 mins

Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. This step is crucial for achieving the best possible taste. Serve chilled with your favorite chips, crackers, or crudités.

For an even richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar during the caramelization process.
Greek yogurt adds a delightful tang and helps to lighten the dip without sacrificing creaminess.
If you're short on time, you can use a mandoline to ensure even slicing of the onions, which will promote more consistent cooking.
Garnish with fresh chives or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color and added flavor.
