What do you eat with French onion dip?

A popular accompaniment is the beloved potato chip, however, fresh cut veggies are delicious dipped in as well as crackers, cassava chips, taro chips, and plantain chips.

How should I cut onions for making caramelized onions?

Slice the ends off the onions. Stand onion on the cut side and slice in half and peel the outer skin off. Place the halved onion cut side down and slice into 1/8-1/4 inch slices, as close to the same size as possible for even cooking. Be sure to slice with the grain not against the grain, for the most tender onions.

Instructions

Slice the onions into half moons, with the grain no thinner than 1/8 inch thick.
Caramelize the onions: Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet or carbon steel pan on medium-high. When the pan is hot, add onions stirring a few times- cook this way, without oil, for 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and salt, stirring for a minute to fully incorporate. Turn heat down to medium-low. Stir every 5-10 minutes for 30-50 minutes. The onions should be a dark caramel color, smell amazing and be greatly reduced. Deglaze the pan by adding 1 tablespoon of water and scrape the pan to get the stuck crusty browned bits off the pan. This is known as fond and is bursting with flavor. Don’t skip this step! See the full recipe on How to Caramelize Onions.
Dice up caramelized onions. Measure out 1/2 cup.
In a bowl mix together yogurt, salt, pepper, chives, parsley, garlic powder, Worcestershire and apple cider vinegar. Fold in the chopped caramelized onions until the dip is thoroughly combined. Adjust flavors adding more salt, pepper or vinegar as desired.
Serve chilled with chips, crackers and fresh veggies.

Notes
