And now a Leap into 2012
This is a new take on an old standby French Onion Dip, only healthier, and with a few additions, and tastes better, in my family's opinion.
And now a Leap into 2012
This is a new take on an old standby French Onion Dip, only healthier, and with a few additions, and tastes better, in my family's opinion.
Caramelized Onion Dip with Sun Dried Tomatoes
Inspired by Liv Life
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 - 3 large sweet onions, cut in half and thinly sliced, then cut in quarters
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup low fat sour cream
1/2 cup low fat cream cheese
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, diced
1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often for about 20 minutes, or until they turn golden. Be careful and watch them, because they burn easily. Add the garlic and balsamic vinegar and cook for another 3 minutes, until deep golden and caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
Place onions to a medium bowl and stir in sour cream, cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, rosemary, and salt and pepper. Cover and chill,to let the flavors mingle, or serve warm. Serve with pita chips, crackers, or veggies. Enjoy!
Have a Safe and Happy New Year Everyone!!!
Come and join the Party!!!!
