Ingredients
  

  • 2 Large Yellow Onions Peeled and sliced crosswise into steaks for grilling
  • 4 oz Marscapone Cheese Lowest sodium you can find
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Lowest sodium brand you can find
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream lowest sodium brand you can find
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper freshly cracked
  • 1/2 TBSP Lemon Juice

Method
 

  1. Let the Marscapone come up to room temperature
  2. Slice the onions crosswise into 1/2 inch thick "steaks" and grill them over medium high heat
  3. You want some char on both sides to add depth of flavor.
  4. Allow onions to cool then mince them
  5. In a medium glass bowl, add the Marscapone, Sour Cream, and Greek Yogurt
  6. Stir together completely
  7. Add in the minced onions
  8. Add the cayenne, black pepper, and lemon juice.
  9. Adjust spices as needed to taste (I like a bit more Cayenne for the heat)
  10. Allow the dip to "age" in the refrigerator for 2 hours
  11. Serve cold with fresh veggies, or some low sodium crackers or naan.
