For Caramelizing Onions
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon oil (olive or vegetable)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Begin by caramelizing the onions. Slice the onions thinly. In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil over low heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt to help draw out the moisture. Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 30-45 minutes.
- In the meantime, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season the dip with salt and pepper.
- Once the onions have caramelized, let them cool slightly, then finely chop them. Fold the caramelized onions into the cream mixture. Add the chopped chives.
- Cover the dip and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. Enjoy!
