                Warning: Highly addictive! Great onion dip recipe. I used Japanese rice vinegar because it's mellower, just my preference.
                 The bacon really stands out so be sure to use a variety you love. I use applewood for that hint of smoke. It is delicious dip for
                 kettle chips.

                Love, love, love this dip!  The flavors are wonderful and if you use LSQ's mayonnaise recipe to make your own for this it's even better!  I did use one of those onion chopper things so my onions were small squares and there was no problem with stringiness.  I also chopped the bacon smaller to have some in each bite and cooked it pretty crisp.  This stuff is addictive and no butter taste to me.  I wouldn't call it a light anything though.  Where are the instructions to sub kale for the bacon?

Caramelized Onion and Bacon Dip

Recipe Summary

Yield: Makes 2 cups

Recipe Summary

Yield: Makes 2 cups

Yield: Makes 2 cups

Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 3 pounds yellow onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise

  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt

  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

  • 1/3 pound bacon, chopped

  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup safflower oil

  • 3 shallots, thinly sliced into rings

Directions

Heat a large skillet. Add the olive oil. When it shimmers, add the onions and salt and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden in color, 45 minutes to I hour; add a little water if needed to prevent sticking. Add the vinegar during the last minute of cooking. Let cool.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet until it has rendered its fat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; reserve the fat in the pan if you will be frying the shallots.

Let the bacon cool.

Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onions, and bacon in a large bowl.

For the optional garnish, add the vegetable oil to the skillet with the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the shallots, lower the heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain the shallots on a paper-towel-lined plate.

Garnish the dip with the fried shallots, if using, and serve.
