This easy fat-free version offers a guilt-free alternative to the traditional rich dip, making it perfect for parties, gatherings, or simply as a tasty snack. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can whip up this delicious dip in no time.
The secret to this lightened-up dip lies in the use of nonfat Greek yogurt, which provides a creamy and tangy base without the added fat. Reduced-fat sour cream and a blend of aromatic seasonings, such as garlic, onion powder, and paprika, add depth of flavor. The addition of grated Parmesan cheese contributes a nutty and savory touch, while a splash of Worcestershire sauce enhances the umami profile.
To complete the classic French onion experience, caramelized onions play a crucial role. This recipe guides you through the process of caramelizing onions slowly and patiently, bringing out their natural sweetness and complexity. The resulting golden-brown onions are then folded into the dip, infusing it with a rich and flavorful dimension.
Whether you prefer to serve this dip with crispy potato chips, fresh vegetables, or crunchy crackers, it's sure to be a crowd-pleaser. It's also a versatile recipe that can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. For a touch of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. If you crave a more pronounced onion flavor, increase the amount of caramelized onions.
This fat-free French onion dip is not just a healthier choice; it's also incredibly delicious and satisfying. It's a testament to the fact that you can enjoy your favorite comfort foods without sacrificing your well-being. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.

Steps:
- In a large saute pan over low heat, add oil and butter. When butter is melted, add onions and saute stirring occasionally until golden brown and caramelized, about 35 minutes. Add shallots and some salt and saute for 15 minutes more until onions and shallots are dark brown. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 to 6 minutes, then chop into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Fold in onion mixture. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight, prior to serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Yellow onions are the most commonly used for French onion dip, but you can also use white or sweet onions. If you want a milder flavor, use sweet onions.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly.
- Cook the onions slowly: This will allow them to develop a deep, rich flavor.
- Use a good quality beef broth: This will give the dip a more flavorful base.
- Add some herbs and spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the dip. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
- Let the dip cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: Some good options include chips, vegetables, and bread.
Conclusion:
Easy fat-free French onion dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
