for those insisting on sour cream, why not use non fat or reduced fat sour cream? I'm sure Emily's Onion Dip was to keep it low fat by using the yogurt. (smile)

I'm sure there would be a difference if you used sour cream instead of plain yogurt. But that would be defeating the purpose and that's not what this recipe calls for. I think this recipe is great and I'm grateful that it doesn't call for sour cream because I live in Kenya, where you can't get sour cream. Maybe I've been away from the States for a while because this recipe was excellent to me and I don't think you need the sour cream. At least try it with the yogurt first to see if you like it. Thanks, Emily, for the fantastic recipe!

This was a very easy and tasty dip. I used sour cream instead of yogurt. I will try it again adding garlic. I think that addition will boost it to a 5-star.

So while the recipe calls for using yogurt to make it healthier and lower in fat, I could not help but use sour cream instead. It was awesome with the freshly sauteed onions and the longer it sat in the refrigerator, the better it tasted! We liked this served with potato chips.

Appreciated a healthier onion dip. Made 24 hours in advance for a dinner party and, though it was complimented by the guests, a lot was left over. I'm still eating it. You can't tell it's yogurt and it tastes almost like sour cream and onion. Maybe I'm too used to sour cream, but it just seemed to be missing something.

It does thicken up a bit after standing overnight and the onion flavor does increase. Still I could not fool myself into thinking this was "real" onion dip. Not even close. This might go good as a spread for a gyro. Very health dip I must admit

Excellent dip Emily! I love yogurt so this was no problem for me. I too strained out the liquid overnite using cheesecloth as I like my dips on the thicker side. I added garlic and onion powders and chopped green onion for a bit of color. Delish!

This is a healthy alternative for those who like an onion flavored dip. It has a "real deal" taste factor too.

With some revisions, I used this recipe at my last superbowl party and it turned out great!! People are funny about yogurt, so instead of 2 cups yogurt, I added 1 cup yogurt and 1 cup lowfat sourcream. I also added a 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1 tsp onion powder to add more flavor. The flavor will intensify if refrigerated for a day. I loved the sauted onions, nice touch.

Will make again! Thanks

This was good, but I couldn't help but think, "Something's missing." That "something" is sour cream. This would've been awesome with sour cream! My husband loved this recipe, saying it remined him of the processed store-bought onion dip he ate as a kid.

Very happy with this dip recipe. A little runny for my taste, so I placed half of the yogurt over cheese cloth overnight to drain some excess liquid. Mixed it all together in the morning and was the perfect consistency! Thanks.

This pretty tasty for yogurt...I am a HUGE sour cream fan. I follwed the recipe exactly but next time a may toss in some herbs just for a different flavour. Thanks for the recipe!

What a great dip! nobody can believe it's made with yogurt, and it tastes a lot better than anything made with onion soup mix. I suggest adding a sprinkle of chopped parsley or minced green onion for color.

Yummy dip! next time I will chopped the onions even finer than I did. It made a yummy dip for perogies. I also mixed it with Salsa and enjoyed it with my tacos mmmmmm! An great treat! thanks

Great dip! You can trick people into snacking healthy. I did a few things different that makes it even better. Instead of using butter, I used like half the amount of peanut oil (1 tablespoon). I used half shallot/half onion,and I cooked them for a really long time on low heat until caramelized, then deglazed with white vermouth. I also left out the vinegar. This is a versatile dip, but I think the best thing about it is that it can be made extremely low fat, and it still tastes great!
