Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 1 Medium To Large-sized Yellow Onion, Peeled And Chopped
  • 18 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 16 ounces, weight Sour Cream
  • 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
  • 2 Scallions (white Part Only)
  • 2 Tablespoons Snipped Chives

Method

  • 1.
  • To caramelize the yellow onions: Heat the canola oil in a saute pan on medium-low heat.
  • Add the chopped onions and garlic powder.
  • Salt the onions at this stage because you want the salt to draw out the liquid in the onions.
  • Continue to saute until the onions turn a dark golden color.
  • Depending on the pan youre using, you may have to lower the heat a little because you want the onions to cook low and slow.
  • You dont want them to burn.
  • This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • 2.
  • Once the onions have achieved that golden color, add the balsamic vinegar and continue sauteeing until the balsamic has cooked out.
  • Remove the onions to a bowl and let them cool.
  • 3.
  • In another bowl, mix the sour cream, cream cheese, scallions and chives (reserve about a teaspoon of chives for garnish).
  • When the caramelized onions are cooled down, add them and mix thoroughly.
  • Garnish with the reserved chives.
  • Serve with chips, pretzels, veggies, or whatever sounds good.
