Avocado Onion Dip

Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 ripe California Avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 16 oz greek yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

  • In saucepan heat onion and garlic on medium with a tablespoon of oil, stir a few times and place a lid over it. Let the onions soften and caramelize.
  • I cooked them over medium heat, not too slow as to steam them under the lid, but low enough that they didn't burn. Remove lid after a few minutes and stir onions until they are all cooked and turning golden brown.
  • In mixer add onion mixture, avocado, lemon juice and yogurt. Beat until smooth and creamy. It can be mixed in a blender or food processor if you prefer.
  • Blend it until it's creamy and smooth.
  • Spread over toasted bread and top with crumbled cooked bacon and chives or small scallion pieces for a garnish.
  • This make a great dip, for pretzels, chips or to slater on your burger or sandwich.
