Caramelized French Onion Dip

Serves 10

Note: Slow-cooking or carmelizing onions brings out their natural sweetness. Their rich flavor makes old-fashioned creamy onion dip worth revisiting. Bonus: This version has only a fraction of the calories and fat of the original. Serve with baked pita chips.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/4 cups slivered yellow onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt
4 ounces low-fat sour cream
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat the love oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and salt. Saute 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.
2. Place cooled onions in food processor. Pulse several times to chop. Remove 1/2 of the onions and place them in a mixed bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor. Process until smooth. Spoon into mixing bowl and combine with chopped onions.
