A quick, simple and HEALTHY Spinach and Caramelized Onion Dip made with Greek yogurt. Serve it with crackers or vegetables for an easy appetizer!
I don’t know what to do, proclaim my love of onions again or talk about something entirely different. We could talk about how I finally started cold brewing my own coffee?! Yes, it’s true. Can someone please explain to me why it took me so long? I love cold brew coffee, and hell I even worked at a juice company that cold brewed coffee, but I wanted until NOW to start doing it. I suppose you could say it’s perfect timing, what with the weather getting warm and my desire to buy iced coffee being sky high. But, not anymore! Well, I’ll still buy it from time to time because I can’t NOT, but I’ve been enjoying cold brew ever since Lestraundra posted this recipe on Facebook. Talk about a money saver!
Besides cold brew, I’ve been enjoying the slightly colder weather we’ve had the past few days in Pittsburgh (I’m talking in the 50s, 60s and 70s), watching the Bachelorette (HELP, I can’t believe I started watching it but it’s so good) and nailing down wedding details. If there’s anytime to finale details it’s now! My mom and I went to the venue last night to map out how we want the layout to look. Miguel and I made a chart on paper, but we wanted to confirm with the venue that our vision would work. Luckily for the most part, it did.
Next up: finalize the day-of timeline so we can give it to the venue and DJ, confirm our song list and look up photo ideas on Pinterest. I gotta say, as much as I want to hate Pinterest for providing cool yet unrealistic ideas and expectations, it’s been a huge factor in helping me determine things I want and don’t want, like flowers, shoes, hair, and make up.
Speaking of hair and make up, I’m going to my trail tomorrow! Eeeeeee! I have a few ideas in mind, all three completely different of course. We shall see!
Oh, and if you love caramelized onions, then you need this onion dip in your life. TRUST ME.
PrintSpinach and Caramelized Onion Dip
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 15 mins
- Yield: 4 or more 1x
Ingredients
- 2 large or 4 small yellow onions
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 3 cups spinach
- 2 tbsp chives, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel onions and then slice vertically into thin strips*; set aside.
- Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onions.
- Allow onions 8-10 minutes to caramelize, stirring occasionally to avoid any burning. If onions do start turning black, add more oil/butter. You’ll know the onions are done when they are soft and caramel in color.
- While onions are caramelizing, slice chives and place yogurt in a bowl.
- When onions are done, stir them into the yogurt.
- Place skillet back on the stovetop and stir in spinach. There should be a bit of oil/butter leftover, but if not, add an additional tablespoon of oil to sauté the spinach.
- Stir spinach, chives, salt and pepper.
- Serve with crackers or veggies and enjoy!
Notes
*This is the ideal way to cut them for caramelizing, but you can dice them if you prefer
Q: How often do you buy coffee vs. brewing your own?
I’ve started making cold brew at home, too! Seriously revolutionary stuff, and soooo delicious 🙂 This dip looks creamy and oh so savory.

Yes!! I’m like wait, why did I wait so long to cold brew coffee?! It’s so easy!
This is great!!! I’m always at a loss for a recipe for parties, tailgates, etc. Sometimes, you just want to throw together an easy dip, but healthy recipes are hard to find!
Yes! This definitely counts as healthy because it’s basically just yogurt with onions.
The Bachelorette will definitely suck you in!! And ahhh you’re so close to the wedding! Have you started having dreams about it yet? I feel like in the weeks leading up to mine I had constant dreams about things going wrong lol. I hope that doesn’t happen to you…..and that this comment doesn’t suddenly start triggering them.
No but my mom told me she had a dream that she couldn’t make it to the wedding… maybe my dreams will start this week hahah I mean, I hope not!
This dip looks so good!! I love caramelized onions, they have so much flavor!
