Whether you’re watching a big game or having friends over for a bowl of chili, there’s nothing like a casual finger-licking appetizer you can swipe a chip through. It’s time to make a dip.

This creamy, oniony dip is not the packaged additive- and salt-loaded instant dip filled with dehydrated onions. Rather, it’s entirely made from scratch. Loaded with three types of freshly cooked onions, it’s a veritable allium extravaganza bound together with cream cheese and gobs of Greek yogurt to lighten it up. The tartness of the yogurt and a squirt of lemon juice balance the rich sweetness of the squidgy onions, which, naturally, makes it easier to keep on swiping and eating.
