Healthy French Onion Dip

One of my favorite dips growing up was french onion dip.

Now that I lost 100 pounds, I want to still enjoy what I loved eating before. What I’ve done over the years of maintaining my 100-pound weight loss is coming up with ways to make what I used to love and eat and make them WAY better for you and even better tasting.

This is packed with protein, delicious and super versatile.

Here is what you will need:

• Mini food processor or blender
• Knife or food chopper
• Non-fat Greek yogurt
• Good Culture cottage cheese
• Vidalia onions
• Salt
• Pepper
• Dak’s Original Red seasoning (optional)

This is a great little gadget to have in the kitchen especially when needed to chop a MASSIVE amount of onions. Click HERE to order.

I liked to splash Kettle & Fire chicken broth in the onions while they are carmelizing to prevent burning as well as giving extra flavor. Click HERE for 20% off at Kettle & Fire. 

This Nutri Bullet is the best appliance and I use it ALL THE TIME. Grab yours HERE

Here is how to make it:

1. First dice up the onions
2. Pray a pan lightly with avocado oil
3. Place the onions into the pan.
4. Cook low and slow until golden brown and caramelized.
5. While onions are cooking season with salt and if needed splash some Kettle & Fire chicken broth to prevent burning
6. Once caramelized onions are nice and brown, set aside to let cool
7. In the blender add the cottage cheese and yogurt
8. Blend until smooth
9. Pour the cottage cheese and yogurt mixture into a bowl followed by the cooled onioins
10. Season to taste with salt, pepper and the Dak’s Spice Original Red seasoning (optional)
11. Place into the fridge overnight and enjoy!
