This velvety Caramelized Onion Dip transforms simple ingredients into a flavor sensation that puts store-bought versions to shame. Sweet onions slowly cooked until golden and jammy create a rich, complex base that pairs perfectly with the tangy creaminess of sour cream and buttermilk. Perfect with potato chips, fresh vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches!

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 sweet onions, halved and thinly sliced (about 5 cups)
1 cup sour cream
½ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown, sticky and caramelized (about 20 minutes). If the pan starts to burn, reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of water, stirring well.
Transfer the onions to a small bowl and chill until cold (about 1 hour).
Reserve 1 tablespoon of the onions.
In a food processor, pulse the remaining onions, sour cream, buttermilk and salt until just combined.
Transfer to a serving dish and top with the reserved onions. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
Servings\Yield
Makes about 2 cups of dip, serving 6-8 as an appetizer
