Ingredients

    3 tbsp canola oil
    5 small onions, diced (20 oz by weight)
    pinch baking soda
    ¾ tsp salt
    ½ tsp black pepper
    ¼ tsp paprika
    4 oz (½ cup) cream cheese, cubed and at room temperature
    ¼ cup mayonnaise
    ½ cup non-fat plain Greek-style yogurt
    ½ tsp onion powder
    ¼ tsp garlic powder


Directions

Heat the oil in a fry pan over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
Reduce the heat to medium low, add the baking soda and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are sweet and deep golden.
Stir in the salt, pepper and paprika. Cook 5 minutes more.
Remove from stove and allow to cool.
Place the cream cheese in a bowl and microwave on high for 10 to 20 seconds, until soft enough to cream with a spatula but not melted.
Add the mayonnaise, yogurt, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix well to form a lump free mixture.
Add the caramelised onions and fold in.
Refrigerate until required (this is best after at least 24 hours).
Serve at room temperature with chips, crackers or vegetable sticks.
