While creamy and indulgent, this dip contains some nutritional benefits. Onions are rich in antioxidants and compounds that may help reduce inflammation. To make it healthier, use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream and light cream cheese to reduce fat content. The olive oil provides heart-healthy fats. For a lighter version, serve with raw vegetables instead of chips for added nutrients and fiber. Consider using low-fat mayonnaise or omitting it entirely. While delicious, this dip is calorie-dense, so practice portion control. The long, slow cooking process of the onions develops natural sweetness without adding extra sugar.
