Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Yellow onions, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Unsalted beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 cup Low-fat sour cream
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the onions and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the onions are deeply browned and caramelized, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3

Pour in the unsalted beef broth and balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the dried thyme and reduce the heat to low.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed and the onions are very tender. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat sour cream, plain Greek yogurt, dried parsley, and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Stir in the cooled onion mixture into the yogurt and sour cream blend until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve the French onion dip chilled with assorted fresh vegetables or low-sodium crackers.
