Ingredients

• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons Buttermilk
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chives

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the yellow onion.

Step 2

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion.

Step 3

Cook the onion, stirring frequently, for 7-8 minutes or until it is caramelized and golden brown. Reduce the heat if the onions begin to brown too quickly.

Step 4

Mince the garlic clove and add it to the skillet during the last minute of cooking the onions. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Transfer the caramelized onion and garlic mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool completely to room temperature, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and buttermilk until smooth.

Step 7

Stir in the cooled onion mixture, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 8

Chop the chives finely and fold them into the dip, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish the dip with the reserved chives. Serve chilled with chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.
