Even though you see me indulging from time to time, my priorities regarding food have changed over the years last few months. I am now a lot more conscious and as much as possible, opt for healthier alternatives.
This French Onion Dip is a skinnier version of the Caramelized Onion Dip I made three years ago. I’ve made adjustments and changes in the ingredients. Surprisingly, the taste remained the same only this time it’s healthier and contains a lot less calories.
Thanks to friends from California Crunch Cassava Chips who generously sent me samples, I also had healthier chips to dip into it.
California Crunch Cassava Chips is made from cassava instead of the usual potato. It’s a lot thicker, denser, starchy-er and sweeter than potato. It’s also a good source of Vitamin B3 which helps to lower cholesterol, plus iron, and calcium.
One of the best things that I love about these chips is that it contains zero trans fat, has 30% less fat than the leading American potato chips brand and has zero cholesterol.
And you have two flavors to choose from : Barbecue and Sour Cream & Onions.
Barbecue has a sweet and spicy flavor while Sour Cream & Onions plays around the combination of sweet, fresh and tangy.
What do I love to dip into this French Onion Dip? I’d say it’s the Sour Cream & Onions.
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large white onions, chopped
- 2 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup lite mayonnaise
- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Black pepper & sea salt, to taste
- Chives for garnish
- Sauté onion in heated olive oil, stirring occasionally for 15-20 minutes, or until caramelized (golden brown).
- Add the garlic and sauté for an addition 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let onions cool to room temerature.
- In a medium bowl, mix yogurt, mayonnaise, worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and sea salt.
- Fold in onion and place in fridge overnight. {you can also do 1-2 hours}
- Top with chives and serve with fresh veggies, chips, or crackers.
Thanks California Crunch!

I prefer barbecue flavor than Sour cream. I like chips which are spicy and at the same time nutritious. Thanks for sharing you dip recipe. I will try it soon.
ooh seems like a nice flavor to try with, with love to try this sometimes
OMG! Thanks for this recipe Peachy! I cannot wait to try it out! I love French Onion dip! 😛
I love onion dip, but hubby doesn’t care for it, she only wants cheese dip which I make at home.
Weee…. healthy snacking while still having that “junkfood bingeing” feel. 🙂 Just curious though, if I do away with the Greek yogurt, while I end up with French Onion Soup?
