Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 shallot, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 large Spanish onion
  • 1 Vidalia onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cipollini onions, finely chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 3 scallions, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 bunch fresh chives, chopped (about 3 tablespoons)

Directions

In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the thyme, shallots, garlic and all the varieties of onions. Saute, stirring constantly. (Onions absorb oil quickly, so add more if necessary.) Continue to cook until the vegetables are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, add the yogurt and cream cheese and stir together. Add in the onions, scallions and chives. Stir well to combine.

    This recipe is amazing!!! I made it as a test batch and took it to work! It was gone in about 10 minutes!!

    I have made about 4 more batches since then and taken them to various parties and it was a hit every time!

    I added a bit more salt & pepper and it was even more tasty!!

    We have a big Graduation Party coming up soon for our daughter. This looked great (saw the episode too. So I made a batch a few weeks ago as a test run. WOW. Just too good. Could not find cipolinni onions (used yellow onions instead or chives (used a little extra scallion. My daughter had friends over when I made the test batch. Amazing how fast it went and there is a bunch of dip if you follow the recipe.
