Ingredients

Scale

Caramelized Onions

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

Dip Base

  • 3/4 cup creamy 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

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the pan evenly. Add thinly sliced onions and stir to coat them in the butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if the pan becomes too dry to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes until onions are deeply browned. Allow onions to cool, then finely chop and set aside.
  2. Blend the Cottage Cheese: Place 3/4 cup creamy cottage cheese in a blender, food processor, or use an immersion blender and blend until smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
  3. Mix the Dip Ingredients: To the blended cottage cheese, add 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine and Chill: Gently stir the caramelized, chopped onions into the blended cottage cheese mixture until evenly incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Caramelized onions can be prepared a day in advance to save time.
  • If you prefer a tangier dip, you can increase the balsamic vinegar slightly.
  • For a thinner dip, add a splash of milk or extra Greek yogurt before blending.
  • This dip stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce is used to keep the dip vegetarian-friendly; check ingredient labels if vegan.
