Skip the standard onion-soup-mix dip, and serve up this healthy caramelized onion and curry dip recipe along with your favorite chips or some crudités.

Prep/Cook Time: 35 Minutes, Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to color, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes more. Add water, curry powder, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the spices are very fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  2. Transfer the onions to a large bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Whisk in sour cream, cream cheese and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
