French Onion Dip

This is my FAVORITE way to make french onion dip. I think the mayo is what takes the flavor to the next level!! I know there are a lot of people who don't like mayo - it can be left out but it's just nottttt as good without it! I have also made diff versions of this with half sour cream: half greek yogurt, and full on all greek yogurt in place of the sour cream, good that way too and a bit healthier! 

What you need:

• 2 large white onions
• 4 tbsp butter or olive oil
• 24 oz sour cream or greek yogurt
• 4 oz mayo (half a small jar)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
• Juice from half a lemon (about 2 tbsp)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

What to do:

1. Dice and caramelize your onions. (Cook the onions in the butter or oil on low until tender and a deep golden brown color for about 30-40 minutes. Deglaze any brown bits in the pan along the way with liquid of choice, broth, wine, beer, etc.) I deglazed this particular batch with beer since it was for Super Bowl Sunday! Turned out so good.
2. Let the cooked onions cool while you measure out the ingredients for the dip.
3. Combine the sour cream, mayo, chives, caramelized onion (reserve some for a pretty garnish at the end!), lemon juice and black pepper in a bowl. Mix. Taste test and adjust with salt and pepper if needed. (Sometimes I like to add in a dash of soy sauce, try it if that sounds like something you might love!!)
4. Serve garnished with more fresh chives, a few reserved caramelized onions and more black pepper. Good in the fridge for a few days!
