Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 pounds onions (about 4 large), diced (8 cups)

  • Coarse salt, to taste

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 1 1/2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more for sprinkling

  • 24 small carrots

  • 24 celery stalks, cut up

  • 24 radishes, cut up

Directions

  • Caramelize the Onions:
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and a pinch of coarse salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. If the onions begin to stick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to loosen them.
  • Remove the onions from heat and allow them to cool.
  • Prepare the Dip:
  • In a large bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and cooled caramelized onions. Stir until well combined. Season with additional salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Serve:
  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, drizzle with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Serve with fresh vegetables such as small carrots, celery stalks, and radishes for dipping.
