Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 large yellow onion, minced
Dairy
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup creamy cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Condiments & Seasonings
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Sauté the onions: In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced yellow onion, salt, and granulated sugar. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Combine the base ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the creamy cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add flavorings and onions: To the creamy mixture, add the sautéed onions along with the balsamic vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all flavors evenly.
- Chill the dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the dip to thicken to the desired consistency.
- Serve: Once chilled, give the dip a quick stir and transfer it to a serving bowl. Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a tangier flavor.
- For a smokier taste, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
- This dip can be made a day ahead to enhance the flavor.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
