Skinny Caramelized Onion and Dill Dip

This party appetizer recipe for Skinny Caramelized Onion and Dill Dip is made healthier by using Greek yogurt and light sour cream. Caramelized onion and dill is my favorite flavor combination to serve for a party.

The start of summer is so close I can almost taste it! There’s no better time than a holiday weekend to post an appetizer recipe that can be shared with friends.

I originally made a version of this dip two years ago and brought it back out of the archives last weekend for a dinner gathering at our house. I think this new “skinny” version is even better.

This dip is made healthier using 2% Greek yogurt and light sour cream. Adding a caramelized yellow onion and dried dill is the best flavor combination. Fresh dill will also work, but I think using dried dill creates a more intense flavor. I paired this dip with crunchy snap peas and pita chips.

Have a wonderful long weekend!
