Greek Yogurt French Onion Dip - The Real Way!

OMG! This dip is so amazing! I bought 5 pounds of onions to make French Onion Soup this week and it sparked the idea of making a French Onion Dip to go along with my Sea Salted Baked Potato Wedges. This is not your run of the mill, processed, loaded with MSG Lipton French Onion soup out a of package kind of dip! This is the real stuff and it's healthy...total bonus! Plain greek yogurt is the base of the dip and the rest is basically caramelized onions. How good is that? This dip is not the quickest to make but the extra steps are so worth the superb taste! While I was mixing all of the ingredients I asked Tyler and Zachary to taste it and they were like this is the best! I tried to get Nate to taste the dip but he wouldn't go near it...anything having to do with onions is off limits to him. Onions to Nate are like kryptonite to Superman or like garlic to vampires! I guess he won't be eating my French Onion Soup tomorrow. Zachary asked what I was making the dip for and I told him the Potato Wedges, he then proceeded to tell me how vegetables, potato chips or bread would be really good with the dip. And he's absolutely right! So I cut up cut up some vegetables and bread and wala! This dip is so versatile that you could use it as a spread or even as a topping on soups and stews. Salute to the healthy delicious Greek Yogurt French Onion Dip!

Great with Crudite and Baguette Bread

Sea Salted Baked Potato Wedges

I love Dash's pre-made sliders... they are so quick to make and super flavorful! Tonight I made 2 types of sliders: chicken, feta and spinach and beef with cheddar. Dave cooked them in the cast iron pan over the stove top and they were out of this world. Any time I make sliders or hamburgers I have to eat  french fries with them. It doesn't matter which kind of fries they are I just have to have them with my hamburgers. If I was given a blotter test and there was a shape of a hamburger I would immediately say- french fry! Maybe I associate hamburgers with french fries because of the gazillion McDonalds Happy Meals I ate as a kid. We rarely eat at McDonalds but I have to admit I LOVE their french fries! So when we do make a fast food run I always get a small order of fries. I don't care that they are made with 17 ingredients, one including TBHQ which is basically lighter fluid and that they are fried in 7 types of oil....they are darn goooood! Well the version I made tonight are much healthier than any french fry out there and tasted way better too. I made Sea Salted Baked Potato Wedges. Every time I make them I say to myself why don't I make these more often. They are so easy to make and so addicting. You can't just have one! The best thing about them is that they are 100% natural so you can eat them with no guilt or feeling like you have to run 3 miles afterwards. I am making French Onion Soup this week for dinner so I have a ton of onions and that sparked the idea of making a Greek Yogurt French Onion Dip to go along with the potato wedges. The dip is incredible and pairs so well with the potato wedges! Salute to Sea Salted Baked Potato Wedges - a healthy alternative to french fries!

Healthy, Delicious and Addicting!

Greek Yogurt French Onion Dip is the perfect match!
